is designed to increase school wide learning and performance. The focus
of AVID is to ensure that all students and most especially the least
served students in the middle, capable of completing a college
preparatory path, will succeed in rigorous curriculum, will enter
mainstream activities of the school, will increase their enrollment in
four-year universities and colleges, and will become educated and
responsible participants in a democratic society.
AVID
is an academic, regularly scheduled elective program based on writing
as a tool of learning, inquiry method, and collaborative grouping. The
three main components of the program are academic instruction, tutorial
support, and motivational activities. The goal of AVID is to educate the
"whole student." This is achieved by unifying six important elements of
education: students, curriculum, faculty, tutors, parents and
community.
AVID placement is done via application and interview process.
