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
