Naviance
WHAT IS NAVIANCE?
Naviance is a web-based college and career research and planning tool for students, parents, and counselors. School districts all over the country are subscribing to Naviance to assist students and families with the critical and sometimes overwhelming tasks of exploring careers, researching colleges, and completing college applications.
Students are exposed to Naviance each year to work on different components of the post high school planning process. Every student also has an individualized log-in.
