Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)
Empowering Students for a Brighter Future
Lynwood Unified's AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program builds a strong foundation of college and career readiness for our elementary school students—starting from the earliest grades.
AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for success in a global society. At the elementary level, the program supports students in developing the skills, habits, and mindsets they need to thrive academically and socially. AVID schools work together to:
-
Foster motivation and a vision of academic success
-
Build student confidence and belief that achievement is possible
-
Strengthen critical thinking and organizational skills
-
Prepare students for advanced coursework in middle and high school
-
Ensure equal access to AVID strategies for all learners
By creating a consistent approach to learning and encouraging goal setting, AVID empowers students to take ownership of their education—and their future.
