AVID stands for ~ Advancement Via Individual Determination
AVID is a college readiness program designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in post secondary education. The AVID program is designed for the middle-of-the-road students that need a little extra support. The program places an emphasis on growing writing, critical thinking, teamwork, organization and reading skills.
