Yountville Elementary School is New Tech school. At New Tech schools, students and teachers alike have exceptional ownership of learning experience and their school environment. Working on projects and in teams, students are accountable to their peers and acquire a level of responsibility similar to what they would experience in a professional work environment. The AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Elementary philosophy is grounded in the idea that the growth mindset can be taught to students, so that they succeed in following their dreams and fulfilling their aspirations.
