WELCOME TO NAVIANCE

What is Naviance  Naviance is a comprehensive online college and career readiness tool for middle and high school students. Naviance helps students to research, identify and select post-secondary and career options that match their interests and strengths.

Why do we need Naviance?  Studies show that students who leave high school with a clear plan for their future are far more likely to succeed than those who see college as the logical next step but lack clarity as to why they are there.  50% of students will drop out of college or will not complete a course of study within six years.  20% of 26 year olds are either living at home or receiving some kind of financial support from parents.  48% of students return home after college.  44% are still there one year later

What is the purpose of Naviance in Junior High?  Help students understand themselves  Get students focused on future educational opportunities  Get students exposed to what careers are available  Give them the tools to help them become future ready
