AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is an elective class that combines rigor with support. The program targets students in the academic middle who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. AVID places students in advanced classes and provides them with an elective class that prepares them to succeed in rigorous curricula, enter mainstream activities in school, and increase their opportunities to enroll in four-year colleges after high school.
