AVID: Advancement Via Individual Determination
AVID is a program for "middle to upper middle" academic students. These students have the potential for honors and AP work in high school, but need academic and emotional support paired with the rigor of their academic courses.
AVID is NOT an "at-risk" program. AVID combines a rigorous academic program with support that includes the student's own individual determination and the support of teachers, other AVID students and their families, the AVID teacher, and university tutors.
