The AVID Elective: Core Support for Student Success

AVID Secondary is a comprehensive program for grades 6–12 that bridges the gap between students’ aspirations and their readiness for college and careers. At its core is the AVID Elective, a daily class that builds academic skills, college and career knowledge, and student agency.

The AVID Elective is central to the AVID College and Career Readiness System, supporting motivated students in the academic middle. Offered during the school day for grades 6–12, the class builds essential skills in organization, writing, and critical thinking, while preparing students for advanced coursework. Weekly tutorials with trained tutors help deepen understanding of challenging subjects. Students also explore college and career pathways, setting goals and planning for the future. As part of a broader schoolwide approach, the AVID Elective empowers students to take ownership of their learning and thrive in rigorous academic environments.
