Naviance Family Connection is a web-based service designed especially for students and parents. Naviance Family Connection is a comprehensive website that you can use to help in making decisions about colleges, scholarships and careers. Naviance Family Connection is linked with Counselor’s Office, a service that is used to track and analyze data about college and career plans. It provides up-to-date information that is specific to your school.
Naviance Family Connection will allow students and parents to:

The “Do What You Are” feature begins with a personality inventory and concludes with a report describing the student’s personality type, potential
careers, and related majors. The results link students directly to detailed career profiles, which include educational requirements, salary data, and in some cases even multimedia presentations. Students may also link directly to the college database to find colleges that offer an educational path to each career; - Take a Learning Style Inventory – The innovative Learning Style Inventory gives important insights about
