What is AVID?
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a college readiness program that seeks to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college and other postsecondary opportunities.
AVID focuses on taking traditionally underrepresented students who are
middle performing and likely first-generation college goers and provides them sufficient structure and support that help them succeed in the most rigorous courses.
AVID was established more than 30 years ago and impacts more than
800,000 students in 44 states and 16 countries today. AVID operates with one guiding principle: Hold students accountable to
the highest standards, provide academic and social support, and they will rise to the challenge.
