About Bright Kids

Our History
Over the last 14 years, we have welcomed 10,000+ families & over 4,000 children to Bright Kids!
Over 90% of our tutored children scored 90% or higher on the Gifted and Talented test compared to 10% of all testers in the general population. Of those, over 50% have qualified for citywide programs.
Year after year, over 80% of our children scored to get to the 2nd Round of HCES. Five to ten children are admitted each year to HCES, which has a total class of 50 kids.
Over 80% of our students scored a 7 or above stanone across all subjects on the ISEE or SSAT; those who worked with us saw at least a 2 stanine increase in score over just a few months.
Our kids have the opportunity to practice tablet-based questions for the AABL; most of our kids score in the top percentile of all the sections.
Our educators, writers, and consultants have published over 100 titles and sold over 10 million books to families who wanted to supplement their tutoring.
We have sponsored hundreds of kids through scholarships programs or community outreach programs like the Harlem Children's Zone.
