Senior Year
The AVID Senior Seminar is our capstone course. Students receive ‘G’ elective credit for this class. During fall semester students maintain their rigorous course loads all the while workshopping their college essays and applications. Students research majors and schools, finally completing college applications. After they’ve applied, students fill out the FAFSA and submit scholarship applications.
During the spring our students decide where they are going to school and we assist them with budgeting for school, planning for college life and filling out paperwork that colleges and financial aid continues to require. We complete the year with our “Adulting” unit, where students become prepared to enter the adult world of college and the workplace, having completed a resume, practice job interviews and researched living arrangements during college.
As with every other AVID year, students maintain Cornell notes for all classes, complete weekly tutorials and binder checks, participate in community service and class bonding activities. The seniors are a very tight knit group and cheer each other on through this exciting time of their lives.
