Program Overview

AVID is designed to provide academic support to students “in the middle” in order to prepare them for eligibility to four-year colleges and universities. During the AVID elective, students focus on writing, reading, inquiry, collaboration and organization while engaging in higher level thinking, teambuilding and college and career exploration. AVID students are mentored on their academic strengths and weaknesses throughout the week and facilitate small group tutorials with their peers.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) at Meade Senior High School is designed to support students as they strive to pursue acceptance into a four-year university. Interested students apply and participate in the AVID interview process from which selections are made based on the AVID criteria and available spots.
