How Xello Works
One Program, Three Modules
Xello is a full K-12 College & Career Readiness program comprising three interactive and age-appropriate modules.
Xello K-2
Starting in kindergarten through grade 2, Xello takes students on a fun and exciting adventure through Career Town. Here students learn about the importance of careers and what goes into choosing one — all while solving the mystery of the town's missing workers.
Xello 3-5
In grades 3 to 5 the Xello student experience evolves. Lessons and personalized activities are introduced. These engage students in building self-knowledge, exploring interest-related career options, setting achievable goals, and developing critical thinking skills.
Xello 6-12
In grades 6 to 12, assessments inspire deeper career exploration, academic planning is introduced, and goal setting becomes more sophisticated. In senior grades, local work-based learning is introduced and postsecondary planning becomes a focused activity.
Empower Your Students to Plan for the Future
Xello ensures you have all the ingredients to inspire students to explore their possibilities and develop individual graduation plans in line with their career aspirations.

Interactive assessments help students understand their interests, skills, values, personality types and learning styles, and help match students to related careers.
Students then explore career portfolios, containing state and regional labor market data, and interviews with people working in these fields. This information helps students discover high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand careers they may otherwise have not known of.

What Educators Say
Students and Educators Love Xello — But Don’t Take Our Word for It!
Why Students and Educators Love Xello
One of the beautiful things about Xello is that it allows the counselor to see and follow students as they grow. Not only is the student flow easy, but it makes it easier for counselors to support successful transitions from primary to middle to high school.

Making the switch to Xello was a big step for our district, but the support we received from the Xello team to relaunch as a full K-12 program was unparalleled. Our students are excited to discover and explore their college and career options. I wish we’d done it sooner!

We hadn’t used all the resources in Xello yet, so this is a good time to do that. It helped that students are already familiar with the program. We know that having college and career lessons will help students think beyond right now. We’ll be looking at how we can use Xello to reorient to what life will be like after coronavirus.
