AVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the achievement gap by preparing all students for college and other postsecondary opportunities. AVID provides scaffolding support that educators and students need to encourage college and career readiness and success.

This elective course provides academic and executive function skills in order to assist students in navigating the complexities of advanced coursework and post-secondary preparedness by accelerating academic success. The AVID elective will have the following student outcomes: student agency, rigorous academic preparedness, and opportunity knowledge.
