Tools & Resources

Naviance
Naviance is our college and career planning platform. Use it to explore careers, search for colleges, and (when you're a senior) manage your applications.

Career exploration
Students have the opportunity to take multiple personality and career interest inventories to develop a deeper understanding of who they are and how their personality relates to different career paths. These assessments help students discover careers they might not have considered and understand which fields align with their interests, values, and strengths.

College search
Use Supermatch to build a college list based on what matters to you—location, cost, academics, campus life, and more.

Scattergrams
See historical admissions data from Woodstock students who applied to specific colleges. View their GPAs and test scores to help identify your safety, target, and reach schools.

Paying for college
Paying for college is one of the biggest concerns families face when planning for higher education. We're here to help you find scholarship opportunities and financial aid resources that can make college more affordable.

Getting started
Whether you're a freshman just beginning to think about the future or a senior finalizing college applications, the counseling office is here to support your journey. Start by exploring Naviance to discover your interests, then schedule time with your counselor to create an action plan for reaching your goals.
