AVID is an academic, regularly scheduled elective class, during the school day, based on writing as a tool of learning, the inquiry method, and collaborative grouping. The three main components of the program are:

• Academic instruction
• Tutorial support
• Motivational activities

The AVID student

AVID students are students in the middle, capable of completing a college preparatory path with support. These students often are not realizing their full potential academically. In the identification process a number of criteria are considered, including:

• State Scores
• 2.0 – 3.5 GPA
• Citizenship
• Attendance
• Desire and Determination
• First in the Family to Attend College
• Historically Underrepresented in 4-year colleges/universities
• Economically Disadvantaged
• Other Special Circumstances
