AVID
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)
AVID’S mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
AVID teaches skills and behaviors for academic success, provides intensive support with tutorials and strong student/teacher relationships, creates a positive peer group for students, develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination. This is achieved by six important elements of education: students, curriculum, faculty, tutors, parents, and community.
