Naviance

St. Anthony will introduce and utilize the Naviance College, Career, and Academic Planning System throughout the 2009-2010 school year.  

Perhaps the premier online service of its kind worldwide, Naviance is currently utilized by over 3,000 schools in some 61 countries, and by over half of U.S. News and World Report’s “Top-100 High Schools in America”.   Currently, of the almost 100 secondary schools operating in Hawaii, only Punahou, Hawaii Baptist Academy, Maryknoll, and Mid-Pacific utilize Naviance;   St. Anthony would be the first school on Maui to employ Naviance.

Essentially, Naviance is a “one-stop shop” when it comes to college and career planning.  It provides online proven personality testing designed to match individual student interests with possible careers and jobs. Then, it aligns career interests with possible college matches drawn from over 1000 college and university choices across the United States, via direct contact with their respective admissions offices.  Naviance then provides a “turbo-tax”-like online ‘Tuition Coach’ designed to make financial planning for college much easier, as well as state-of-the-art online SAT test preparation support that are both meant to greatly enhance the college planning process.  And to top it off, Naviance works with the Common Application as well as colleges and universities to streamline the online application process, helps students build their college resumes, as well as to stay on top of all the latest news applicable to the college planning and application process.

St. Anthony college guidance counselor Michael Weddington is working with Naviance to make this powerful system available to each and every Saint Anthony student and their parents. The system should be operational and available online by the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year.  Mr. Weddington will arrange and announce several college planning workshops during the week (including during the evening) during early Fall Semester of 2009 to properly train students and parents as needed.  For further information on Naviance, please go to:  www.naviance.com
