A Proven Way to Close the Opportunity Gap
Teach Students How to Own Their Education
AVID’s success with more than 2 million students
can be scaled to address the learning loss needs that the entire nation is facing at this time.
How will your school district leverage the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (ESSER II) and the American Rescue Plan Act (ESSER III)?
We are committed to ensuring all students have access to a quality education.
For 40+ years, AVID has helped students develop a greater sense of belief, belonging, and agency. Until we teach kids how to learn, we can’t expect them to master content. We set high expectations for every student, and we support them with peer collaboration, community, and adults who believe in their potential. This is the #AVIDmindset.
AVID alumni who go to college are
4X
more likely to graduate than their national peers.

Learning Loss
AVID addresses learning loss by accelerating learning for all students, which starts with ensuring that school leaders have instilled systems, leadership, instruction, and culture that support raising expectations and high achievement for all. We empower and equip educators with agency so they can ensure all students’ learning is accelerated.
AVID strategies are appropriate for any student, and many schools offer the AVID Elective to provide scaffolds and support to accelerate learning for those students who have historically been underserved by K–12 education systems. Most students in the AVID Elective are people of color, and more than 65% qualify for the federal free-and-reduced-price lunch program.
