AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. AVID's mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. It is an elective class that prepares the students or college. AVID students must have the desire and determination to work hard in order to accomplish their goals. They have the potential to take honors courses, and AVID gives them the skills to be successful (organization, note-taking, goal setting, etc.). Typically, they will be the first in their families to attend a four year university. Students are comfortable to take risks and challenge themselves because AVID acts as a family.
