AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

AVID instructional methodologies are rooted in WICOR: writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading. Craven County Schools’ AVID programs align their instructional systems with AVID’s beliefs and methodologies using relational capacity, high expectations, layering on existing curricula, collaboration, inquiry, and organization.

The AVID College Readiness System in Craven County provides age/grade level appropriate scaffolded supports. These include but are not limited to: focused note taking, organization of materials, collaborative study groups, critical reading & writing skills, and social/emotional skills.
