College Preparation
COLLEGE PREPARATION
(Formerly known as AVID)
College Preparation is a program designed to help underachieving students with high academic potential prepare for entrance into colleges, trades programs, and universities. The program features rigorous academic elective courses with a sequential curriculum for grades 10 – 12 that focus on writing, inquiry, reading and collaboration as methodologies to accelerate student progress. Tutorials are also included throughout the course to allow students to work on difficult questions for other courses they are in. Organization, study strategies, and time management skills are developed throughout the College Preparation program. Students will go on at least one field trip each year to colleges or career fairs help them make decisions about their future. Typical students in the program have a C - B average, and have a strong desire to do better.
