Now, there are several AVID elective classes available for 7 - 12th grade students. With well trained teachers, administrators, coordinators, and counselors, SVMS is developing a strong AVID system that will transform the Instruction, Systems, Leadership, and Culture of a school, ensuring college readiness for all AVID Elective students and improved academic performance for all students based on increased opportunities.
