The Keyes Library has Internet subscription/access to CollegeView. CollegeView is an interactive multimedia program containing a database of all accredited two- and four-year colleges in North America. The Program contains CollegeView, CareerView, FutureScope, JobScope, and a scholarship resource. It is available to anyone in the Davidson Academy family.
CollegeView allows you to search for colleges based on given criteria. It is also a great resource for learning more about financial aid and how to develop those dreaded resumes and cover letters. Interest inventories are also available to help you choose a major and get you started down the right career path. At home, you may access the CollegeView Internet Edition by going to http://subscription.collegeview.com . For the password and School Identification Number, please E-mail Mrs. Pusey at gpusey@davidsonacademy.com . Not as much information is available over the Internet as is through the subscription version in the Library, so feel free to come use the Library's version when it is convenient for you.
