Interlake Senior High School – College Readiness Through Avid 9

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a rigorous course designed for motivated and determined students who intend to pursue a four-year college degree. AVID students work through peer study groups and collaborate with college academic coaches to deepen their content knowledge, practice questioning strategies and lead discussions. AVID coursework focuses on entrance and placement exams, career and college knowledge, preparing for college study sessions, test taking strategies, refining focused note taking strategy, time management, organizational skills, and presentation methods. AVID is designed to prepare students for success in four-year colleges and universities by targeting students who want to challenge themselves to use and refine inquiry, reading, writing, and collaborative strategies that students use for success in rigorous courses and in college. Another primary goal of AVID is to close the opportunity gap by providing greater access to the most rigorous courses and college success for all students.
