Letter of Recommendation Overview
Private schools require letters of recommendation. Most private schools use the Common Application. To use Common App create an account on line as well as provide information about the schools you are applying to in Naviance. Most Common Application Schools require counselor recommendations and the Secondary School Report. This is separate from the teacher recommendation.

If you are applying to non Common App schools verifyrequirements on each school's website to determine what recommendations are needed.
If a letter of recommendation is required, students need to fill out the letter of recommendation survey on Naviance and provide a resume or brag sheet to their counselor and teacher(s). Students should not ask different teachers to write letters for different schools. If you must, be sure to give each teacher a specific list of schools to which they will submit the recommendations.
