AVID
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college-readiness program designed to help students excel academically and prepare for future success. In middle school, AVID offers personalized support to improve study habits, organization, and critical thinking skills. AVID students participate in tutorial, engaging activities and learn how to set and achieve goals—all while being part of a supportive community of motivated peers and teachers. Through AVID, students build confidence, become stronger students, and start their journey toward high school and beyond.
Students, if you're ready to challenge yourself, improve your grades, and get ready for college, AVID is for you!
