What Is AVID?
AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
AVID ensures that ALL students, and most especially the least served students who are in the middle:
- will succeed in rigorous curriculum;
- will complete a rigorous college preparatory path;
- will enter mainstream activities of the school;
- will increase their enrollment in four-year colleges; and
- will become educated and responsible participants and leaders in a democratic society.
