AVID

AVID—Advancement Via Individual Determination—fosters a safe and open culture, high expectations for teachers and students, and collaboration in all classrooms.

Our AVID teachers instill academic behaviors and critical thinking skills in young students, creating a positive impact in later grades. PL Prep students learn essential habits that promote success in middle school, high school, and college. They gain knowledge in organization, study techniques, communication, and self-advocacy, all presented in a challenging yet age-appropriate manner. AVID students take structured notes and participate in high-level discussions, encouraging them to ask and answer questions that go beyond the ordinary.

At PL Prep, we work towards cultivating a culture that values higher education and motivates students to explore their college and career options. Our teachers provide a strong academic foundation, enabling our students to identify their path towards success in college and career. Being an AVID elementary, we understand the importance of bridging the opportunity gap early on.
