AVID is an international college preparatory program, available at several middle and high schools within New Hanover County Schools, which is designed for students typically underserved by colleges and universities.  Students, teachers, and staff volunteer to participate and follow a set of research-based strategies ensuring student success.  The students are required to enroll in a set of rigorous courses, which will meet admission standards for college.  They must also attend an AVID elective class.  Historically, 95% of those students who complete AVID classes are accepted into a four year college or university and over 80% are still enrolled after the second year.
