Enrichment program listings available in WorkspaceK12 from Naviance to help students explore programs of interest

Washington, DC, June 18, 2008 -- Naviance, the leader in planning and advising systems for secondary schools, and Enrichment Alley today announced the integration of new features to help students identify enrichment programs that suit their academic and personal interests. Through this unique partnership, Naviance will integrate the Enrichment Alley database of enrichment programs within its WorkspaceK12 service, as well as in Family Connection.

"One of the goals of WorkspaceK12 and Family Connection is to give individual students a one-stop resource for comprehensive information on course, career, and college planning," said Stephen M. Smith, CEO, Naviance. "Naviance's new partnership with Enrichment Alley provides students that are looking for a more unique experience the information they need to make an educated decision about summer study and other programs of interest."

Enrichment Alley was designed to enable students, families, schools, and advisors to easily find programs to enhance learning. It offers a comprehensive database of enrichment opportunities for pre-college students who seek to participate in academic, athletic, travel, and service learning programs to round out their backgrounds and experiences before applying to college or going into the workforce. Enrichment Alley also provides additional information to students exploring the increasingly popular option of taking a gap year to travel, work, or study abroad before beginning college. With this integrated offering, students and counselors can access a robust listing of programs and discuss how program participation may enhance their college options.

"By working with Naviance and integrating our tools with their leading software, we can deliver program information that will truly enrich the student experience," said Gail Grand, President, Enrichment Alley. "Through our unique partnership, we look forward to helping hundreds of thousands of students find their passion for a subject, learn about future careers, experience living in a different culture, or make a difference though community service."
