AVID 3

AVID 11th grade program stresses improving academic GPA as colleges and universities carefully examine 11th grade report cards. Students will take at least one college entrance test (SAT/ACT) and continue to investigate college choices by the end of the junior year, AVID students should have narrowed their choice of colleges to three or four. Students will continue to improve their writing skills. Investigation of the college application process (filling out sample financial aid forms and writing practice entrance essays) will take place. Students will continue to investigate careers to help in determining college majors and minors. A college portfolio of ample college applications and sample essays will serve as a culminating assessment project for the year. This course is UC-G approved at SCHS.
