The AVID Experience!
An Opportunity for Your Scholar’s Entry into College

The AVID Program is an advantage that Montbello High School offers students who wish to further their education to the collegiate level. More than a program, it prepares even the average students for the rigors of high achievement and provides support and a roadmap down the highway to success that has often eluded those who have considered college as an unattainable goal.

The AVID Advantage

Rigorous Curriculum - emphasizing leading teaching and learning strategies designed to give your student the edge in Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, and Reading (W.I.C.R).

Paid Tutorial Support – offered on a continuous basis to channel your student into Advance Placement and Accelerated Classes that are traditionally out of the reach of many students, but so highly prized by many college admissions counselors.
