As a ninth grader, you do not need to know which colleges you would like to apply to as a senior, what you'll want to major in, etc...it is waaaaaaay too early for these kinds of decisions! You have plenty of time to investigate your options and to work with your college counselors later in your high school career.
We do, however, want to take a moment to introduce you to Naviance.
Naviance is an online system that allows you to explore potential colleges and careers/majors, review Stuyvesant’s historical college application data, and stay informed regarding important college planning tasks and events. Student opportunities (volunteerism, internships, etc.) for Stuy students are posted throughout the year in the Naviance Document Resources.
You will use Naviance regularly starting in the second term of your junior year. In your senior year, you will use Naviance to indicate where you’ll be applying to college, and our college counselors will use the system to submit required application documents to colleges. Until then, you can use Naviance begin to explore colleges and/or majors & careers, check out student opportunities, etc., if you're curious and want to get a very early start.
Please complete the following steps when you have a moment:
Step 1: Activate your Naviance Student account.
