Advancement Via Individual Determination aka The Little Engine That Could.
This is also known as AVID - to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college.
I thought all the years in school prior were to do so. You know. Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, History, Shop class.
Now they have Common Core where 2 + 2 does not equal 4 anymore, dropped history or just saying the USA is bad and there are no shop classes. http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/high-school-notes/2015/02/09/3-answers-for-high-school-parents-about-avid-classes
When something becomes an acronym then you know it is useless.
Company HR person: I see here on your resume that you have a degree in Advancement Via Individual Determination
Just what skill is that? Isn’t that suppose to be high school?
You misspelled resume.......

He said he was interested in the job because of the school’s diverse student population and its “best practice” programs, which include International Baccalaureate and Advancement Via Individual Determination.
Shop class? I never had shop class and did just fine in college.
