College & Career Planning
It is West-Mont Christian Academy's goal to help align students' strengths and interests to post-secondary goals, improve student outcomes, and help students see God’s direction for them beyond high school. We strive to aid students in determining a personal plan and setting attainable goals related to their college and career aspirations. Following are some tools to help guide our families:
General Resources
The National Career Development Association
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
National Center for Educational Statistics
Technical & Vocational Schools in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency
Blueprint Christian College Search
Common App – Apply to Multiple Colleges
Interest Surveys
Parents and students: here are some links to interest surveys. Some are free but several charge a fee. These allow students to gauge their career and/or major interests. These surveys may help a student who is unsure of a future path. Please RESEARCH these surveys before signing up to take them. WCA does not intentionally post links to poor surveys, nor does the school endorse any of these organizations.
Students and parents must be aware that they are entering information that will be sold by these companies to third party groups and schools for marketing purposes.
Parents, please allow your student to answer survey questions truthfully. Parental interference during the question answering procedure may skew the results and not offer an accurate assessment of the student's interests and abilities.
