This program is an academic, regularly scheduled elective class, during the school day, based on writing as a tool of learning, the inquiry method, and collaborative grouping. Focus on tutoring, reading and organization are included, as well. Students are required to complete an AVID application and be interviewed by AVID site team members, usually in the spring, before the following school year.
