Mission

Bright Kids NYC is dedicated to preparing your child for all the standardized tests required to gain admissions to the public gifted schools as well as to the top private schools in New York City. If you, as a parent, seek for your child to acquire a spot in one of New York City's most competitive schools, then Bright Kids NYC is the place to begin that journey.

The collective philosophy of our staff is that regardless of age, test taking is a skill that can be acquired and mastered through practice. Just as older students prepare for other tests such as the SATs, we at Bright Kids NYC believe that our young kids need to be prepared for important tests such as the ERB, the Stanford-Binet and the OLSAT as well. We know from anecdotal data that home or ad hoc preparation yields sub-optimal results, even for young kids. We recommend to all parents that they seek professional services to prepare their young kids for standardized tests.
