[new_royalslider id=”7″]

Cardinal High School’s AVID classes visited Cleveland State University November 7, 2013. Their tour began with an introductory slide show presentation and was followed by a walking tour of campus.

The AVID program is in it’s second year of implementation. It was started through a grant funded by Race To The Top funding. The State of Ohio received Race To The Top funding from the federal government. They in turn screened programs they felt were innovative and needed by schools in Ohio, which included AVID.

The grant we received covered a three year time frame. AVID is an acronym which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. It is an international program which teaches students critical skills that help them become successful in college and careers.
