Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is proud to promote the AVID College Readiness System on all seven secondary campuses in the district. AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, has had over thirty years of proven success and is now implemented in 47 states and 16 countries. Designed to increase school-wide learning and performance, the AVID system accelerates student learning, uses research based methods of effective instruction, provides meaningful and motivational professional development, and acts as a catalyst for systemic reform and change. Although AVID serves all students, its elective class focuses on college-bound students desiring support in mastering college readiness tools and strategies. The formula is simple - raise expectations of students and, with the AVID support system in place, they will rise to the challenge.
