The curriculum is writing based and addresses preparation in language arts and study skills. College tutors are employed to assist AVID students with their academic classes.
Students are able to gain information about colleges from guest speakers and college vistitations.
The AVID students will to take the PSAT, SAT, PACT, and ACT at least once during the years, and participate in AVID tutorials twice weekly. During AVID tutorials students work on writing, and guest speakers communicate to the students about the importance of education. The main goals for AVID are to educate students by having them express themselves effectively in writing, reading, speaking, language study, and to encourage them to go to a four year college. Mrs. Penczar is Chairperson in charge of this academic department.
