The Mission of AVID

Definition of a demonstration school

An AVID Demonstration School exhibits a college-going culture that is evident throughout the campus through rigor and high expectations for all students. A demonstration site models the 11 Essentials at a high level and with great fidelity to the AVID Program. The core AVID Program is exemplary with excellent tutorials and quality implementation of the AVID curriculum. There is evidence of the AVID impact schoolwide, particularly with the infusion of AVID methodologies in the content areas that goes beyond binders and Cornell notes.
