Held during the regular school day, the elective class is the foundation of AVID. The curriculum focuses on writing, college and careers, strategies for success, and critical reading. WICOR learning strategies – Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading – are used to develop skills for college and beyond.
Classroom tutors are a critical component in the AVID classroom. They manage the system's collaborative study groups, writing groups, and Socratic seminars.
Besides the AVID elective class, students take other rigorous courses throughout their school day and are given the support they need to be successful. They are expected to maintain a C or better in all of their classes, as well as display good citizenship, to remain in AVID.
Families and students interested in AVID should contact the AVID site coordinator at the middle school's, high school's, FAHS' AVID System.
