Tenth-grade parents should now be able to access Naviance (ask your child or Mr. McBrien for a password) at connection.naviance.com/csny and click on links such as "Colleges our students are attending" and "Top 20 most popular colleges where our students apply" to get an idea about where Churchill alumni attend school and where they have been accepted. The number of students at each school is still low due to Churchill HS's brief history, but the data gives an idea about required GPA and school selections.
The Churchill College Office is currently working with 10th graders who are getting familiar with Naviance and how to use it to help navigate the college process. A first step is to identify colleges and adding them to the list "colleges I am thinking about". Naviance offers research tools including "college match" and "college compare" to aid with picking colleges.
During 10th and 11th grades student utilize Naviance to help find and keep track of colleges of interest in "colleges I am thinking about". This section contains application deadlines, links to the chosen colleges' websites and a box where students can mark level of interest for each college. It is easy to add and drop colleges to and from "colleges I am thinking about". Once the application process starts, students move selected colleges to the list "colleges I am applying to" and use this list to follow up and make sure the colleges receive required material in a timely fashion.
