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 minority, rural, low-income, and other students without a college-going tradition in their families.
• AVID is for ALL students, but it targets those in the academic middle.
• AVID is implemented school-wide and district-wide

Our teachers set the stage for later grades by modeling and rewarding higher-level thinking and academic practices at an early age. In an age-appropriate and demanding environment, elementary students acquire the academic habits they will need to succeed in middle school, high school, and college. Our students gain knowledge of self-advocacy, communication, study techniques, and organization. WE focus on organized notes, providing  thoughtful replies, and posing challenging questions that go require true thinking.
