Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is an elective class designed to introduce and prepare students for entry and success in a four-year college or university. Students will learn the value of an education, organization and time management skills, personal learning styles, the Cornell note-taking system, goal setting skills, as well as reading, writing, and test-taking tips.
