AVID

  • Avid Gifted and Talented ProgramOur enhanced Project-Based Learning Gifted Program motivates all gifted and talented learners. Students work individually or collaboratively using their creative and critical thinking skills in challenging and differentiated interest-based tasks tailored to their unique individual learning needs.

    The mission of AVID is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. AVID is a college readiness system that takes students with the potential and determination to go to college and supports their academic success in the rigorous courses (MS advanced & HS Honors for grades 6-8; HS Honors, AP, AICE, & Dual Enrollment for grades 9-12) required to get into those four year universities. In the AVID elective course, students are taught the skill sets (purposeful note-taking, organization, public speaking, responsibility, etc.) necessary to be successful in those rigorous courses. Many students will be the first in their families to attend college, come from low-income or minority families, or have unique personal circumstances that require a greater academic support system within the school day. AVID creates an atmosphere of positive peer culture for the students, so that they are encouraging each other to strive for success.
