The AVID Mission

"The AVID Mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all

students for college readiness and success in a global society."

 

 

 

What AVID is.

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.

 

  • 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.
  • 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.
