What is AVID?

AVID is not just another program_…
at its heart,

AVID is a philosophy

Hold students accountable to the highest standards,
   provide academic and social support,
 and they will rise to the challenge.

 What Does AVID DO? 

• Teaches skills and behaviors for academic success
• Provides intensive support with tutorials and strong student/teacher relationships
• Creates a positive peer group for students
• Develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination

As a result, policymakers and educators now consider AVID's mission to be an essential strategy for closing the achievement gap, making college access and success available to all students.
