AVID (Grades 9-12)
AVID 12=DUAL ENROLLMENT* (ARTSC 0111)

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a rigorous college preparatory program geared towards students who traditionally fall in the “academic middle.” Students willing to accept the challenge will be accelerated into Honors and AP courses while simultaneously receiving support pertaining to what AVID deems the “hidden curriculum.” The AVID course emphasizes Cornell notetaking, binder organization, study strategies, time-management, and college awareness that will facilitate their academic success in a post-secondary institution. Students gain admission into the program through a rigorous recommendation and screening process to ensure only those individuals truly dedicated to their personal growth and success take part with the understanding they must maintain a minimum GPA requirement. *Students who choose to pursue the dual enrollment option in AVID 12 earn 1 college credit from The University of Pittsburgh.
