Meade High AVID  
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a college-prep program for students who maybe traditionally in the academic middle (earning mostly Cs) and are determined to continue their education at the college of their choice.  AVID is designed to help students remain competitive while in high school by teaching critical college-readiness and college-preparedness skills such as organization, self-advocacy/leadership techniques, effective studying, using calendars/agendas, goal setting, and techniques for higher-order thinking.  In addition, AVID helps increase levels of career awareness.  Enrollment in the AVID Program is by teacher recommendation after completing a scheduled interview. 
 
If your student has a desire to attend college, is willing to complete college prep classes and commit to needed times for studying, then AVID is a great tool for their success! Please contact Mrs. Thornton at cthornton1@aacps.org
