GCSD Magnet/AVID Program

GCSD Magnet/AVID Program Providing an enriching, innovative, and engaging learning experience for all students. What are magnet programs? What is AVID? Why AVID?

Our magnet programs are located in the Carvers Bay area and focus on Digital Immersion, STREAM, Creative and Performing Arts, STEAM, and Early College and Career. We promote specific theme curriculum and implementation of evidence- based AVID system. The theme/focus is integrated with the South Carolina State Standards to provide an enriching, innovative, and engaging learning experience for all s

tudents. Students have the opportunity to create, perform and apply real-world applications to build content knowledge that is enhanced with hands-on learning opportunities. We focus to prepare every student academically, socially, and emotionally to be creative leaders in a global society. The purpose of magnet programs are to improve student achievement, promote diversity, and create an awareness of career opportunities relative to the fields of study in which students may be interested. AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is an aligned system that changes lives by helping schools shift to a more equitable, student-centered approach. AVID's mission is to help schools close the opportunity gap, and prepare all students for college, careers, and life. As part of the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) grant, our leaders and schools in the Carvers Bay communities are charged with developing theme-based magnet programs that provide all students with the opportunity to meet challenging academic content and student academic achievement. While each school promotes a specific theme curriculum, such as Digital Immersion, STREAM, Creative and Performing Arts, STEAM, or Early College and Career, AVID is the evidence-based system utilized for how students are engaged in this learning. In other words, AVID is the instructional vehicle that drives the theme and standards-based content implementations. Our focus with AVID is to prepare every student academically, socially, and emotionally to be creative leaders in a global society by providing Pathways to Success.
