About UsAVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a national college readiness system for elementary through higher education. As an AVID National Demonstration School, Palmer faculty and students welcome the chance to highlight the effectiveness of a school-wide program that addresses the needs of the whole child, promotes and supports rigorous inquiry-based coursework, and prepares students for independent and student-driven learning. AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
We invite you to visit our school to learn more about the AVID College Readiness System. During your visit, AVID Student Ambassadors explain the components of Palmer’s AVID program and its impact on their lives. Visitors have an opportunity to see AVID in action in both the academic and AVID elective classrooms.
