AVID Program Combines Academics With Life Skills

The Record and Herald News (NJ) (5/10, Fabiano) reports, "Englewood's AVID program - an intense, voluntary curriculum that targets middle achievers - is creating an increasing number of success stories, largely by combining academics with life skills." The program serves "15 schools across New Jersey and some 4,600 schools nationwide," and "focuses on the least-served students - those who have the desire to go to college, but are falling short."
