What Is Advancement Via Individual Determination Elementary?
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Elementary teachers help young students build strong learning habits and thinking skills early, setting them up for success in later grades. Students develop the habits they'll need in middle school, high school, and beyond, all in ways that fit their age and challenge them to grow.
What Students Learn
Students learn how to stay organized, study effectively, communicate, and speak up for themselves. AVID Elementary students take structured notes and ask and answer questions that go beyond simple recall.
A College-Ready and Career-Ready Culture
AVID Elementary schools build a culture where college and careers feel possible. Schools display college pennants and banners, and teachers share their own college experiences. College and careers become real options, not distant ideas. Teachers give students the foundation they need to succeed in whatever path they choose. AVID Elementary closes the opportunity gap before it begins.
