AVID is an elective course that combines instruction with tutor-led study groups and motivational activities and academic survival skills.
AVID students are encouraged to take prep courses in middle school and move into honors/advanced placement courses and/or International Baccalaureate.
AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness and success in a global society.
AVID in Orange County was initially implemented in 1992 in one high school. It has since expanded to 250 schools, 132 elementary and 118 middle and high schools from 18 districts.
Currently AVID serves approximately 30,000 students in Orange County.
