AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a K–12 college readiness program designed to support students—especially those in the academic “middle”—as they pursue rigorous, college-preparatory coursework. Through a focus on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading (WICOR), AVID empowers students to develop the skills, confidence, and determination needed to succeed in school and beyond. Students engage in tutorials, college visits, and motivational activities that build a strong college-going culture. AVID students graduate and attend college at higher rates, equipped to think critically, work collaboratively, and set high expectations for their future success.

AVID Excel 7 & AVID Excel 8
