What is Naviance?

Naviance is an online software product that is new to CCHS.  You will be taught to login and use Naviance throughout the year, with assistance from Mrs. Egan and your Guidance Counselors.

Through self discovery and collaboration with parents, teachers and school counselors, Naviance helps students be better prepared for attending college and/or joining the workforce. The Naviance Family Connection portal provides students and families with a variety of tools designed to connect learning to life. 

Personalized Learning Plans

The path to college and career readiness begins with self discovery. Naviance lets students learn about their strengths and areas of interest, and matches those skills with college and career options that are the right fit for each student. Working directly with their school counselors, students can set personalized learning goals and manage all the tasks needed for post-secondary success.

Career & Course Planning

Once students have an understanding of who they are, Naviance empowers them to learn about what they want to be and how to get there. Naviance offers a series of career assessments that help students discover multiple career options, and plan their career paths based on general areas of interest, and the level of education and training required to achieve their individual goals and objectives.
NAVIANCE COURSE PLANNER
Naviance Course Planner helps students plan which courses they need to take to meet their college and career goals. Plus, it gives schools additional tools to help students identify areas where they can increase academic rigor, and find the right courses to help bridge the gap between college eligibility and college readiness.

College Search & Admissions

Naviance makes college research easy. Whether it's matching colleges to a student's career interests, or comparing admissions rates at a student's top college choices, our college planning tools allow students and families to make informed decisions about their options by comparing colleges and universities, exploring scholarship opportunities, tracking college applications, and accessing a variety of other college research materials.
