Family Connection by Naviance

Family Connection by Naviance is a comprehensive website that students and parents can use as a tool in planning for college. It is a web-based program designed to improve college and career planning and is a place to organize personal data, lay out a game plan, maintain a list of prospective colleges, and track the application process.

While we anticipate heaviest usage of this program among our juniors and seniors, many of our younger students and their parents will find this tool to be helpful in longer-term planning. A full overview of the Naviance curriculum is included below.
