student.naviance.com/baruchNaviance is a critical component to the college application process here at BCCHS. In the college office, we use Naviance to asses students scores, identify balance in student's school choices, sending recommendations, transcripts, and much more! Not only is it useful for us, but very useful for students and families as well. Starting freshman year up until the student makes a decision on which school they are attending, Naviance is key. We encourage students to use this fantastic tool as early as possible, and become familiar with all that this site has to offer.

Parents are encouraged to explore Naviance with their child. Parents are also welcome to explore colleges using the Naviance search features. Access our BCCHS guest account here, click "I'm a guest", and use the following registration code: BaruchNaviance.
