AVID is a fourth-through twelfth grade system to prepare students in the academic middle for four-year college eligibility. It has a proven record in bringing out the best in students and closing the achievement gap.
What AVID is…
- AVID is an acronym that stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination.
- AVID is an in-school academic support program for grades 4-12 that prepares students for college eligibility and success.
- AVID places academically average students in advanced classes.
- AVID levels the playing field for students of color, rural families, families living on a low income and other students without a college-going tradition in their families.
- AVID is for ALL students, but targets those in the academic middle.
- AVID is implemented schoolwide and districtwide.
What AVID isn’t…
- AVID isn’t a remedial program.
- AVID isn’t a free ride.
- AVID isn’t a niche program.
- AVID isn’t a college outreach program.
The AVID Mission
To ensure that ALL students:
- will succeed in rigorous curriculum,
- will complete a rigorous college preparatory path,
- will enter mainstream activities of the school,
- will increase their enrollment in four-year colleges, and
- will become educated and responsible participants and leaders in a democratic society.
AVID's systemic approach is designed to support students and educators as they improve schoolwide/districtwide learning and performance.
