Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) is a college preparatory program for students in the middle who are often economically
disadvantaged and underachieving. It enables disadvantaged secondary students to succeed in rigorous curricula, enter mainstream activities
in school, and increase their opportunities to enroll in four-year colleges. Developed in 1980 by Mary Catherine Swanson, AVID has seen
steady growth throughout California, nationally, and internationally in the last 26 years.
