Berea High – AVID 1 - The College Experience

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The AVID elective provides explicit instruction using AVID’s research-based strategies and a curriculum aligned with the 15 Effective Strategies for Dropout Prevention. The AVID Elective is the core of AVID Secondary. It targets students in the academic middle with the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. The AVID Elective class places these students on the college track, requiring students to enroll in the most rigorous courses that are appropriate for them, such as Honors, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced Placement. To support students in the rigorous coursework, the AVID course will provide students with organizational and study skills, develop critical thinking, learn to ask probing questions, receive academic help from peers and college tutors, and participate in enrichment and motivational activities to make their college dreams reality.
