What is AVID?
AVID is a four year elective program designed to prepare students for admission to four-year colleges and universities. AVID is the most successful program in the nation for preparing students for college, and now, career. Last year, all of Norco High School’s AVID seniors were accepted into universities and colleges. This course will challenge the student to be responsible, organized, and to be a self-directed learner. For this reason, there are high expectations on each AVID student. In addition, students are taught study skills, test preparation, time management, and the writing process. The emphasis of the program is on “individual determination”; therefore participation must be voluntary both by the student and the parents.
