Dear Parents,
At Saint Edward’s School, we are dedicated to helping all of our students reach their highest potential and watching them succeed in their high school years and beyond. The challenge lies in discovering each student’s unique set of talents, and understanding how those talents will drive college major, career, and even life choices.
That’s why we’re excited to share with you that we have recently partnered with YouScience, creator of the innovative program called the YouScience Profile. Learn more about how the program works and watch video demonstrations at www.youscience.com.

The online program takes students through a series of assessments and interest questions, designed to determine their results in the 9 key aptitudes utilized in the working world. The results include a review of the student’s strengths, suggested environments where they will succeed, detailed information on possible careers that match those skills and interests, majors that map to those careers, and much more. Each student will then review and interpret the comprehensive results with the help of their academic/college counselor.Students will begin their assessment this week.
Based on the science behind the YouScience assessment and our review of the program, we believe this tool will help students make more informed decisions when it comes to major and career-related choices. This could translate into a more cost-effective and enjoyable journey through the college years, as well as help students pursue their best fit career paths.
Please notify us if you have any questions. Sincerely, Ann Wald and Michele Sternberg
