AVID

College, Career, Every Opportunity

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) students overcome obstacles and achieve success. They graduate and attend college at higher rates, but more importantly, they can think critically, collaborate, and set high expectations to confidently conquer the challenges that await them.

For one period a day, students receive the additional academic, social, and emotional support that will help them succeed in their school’s most rigorous courses.
