• Schedule: Mon - Fri: 9:00am - 6:00pm; Sat/Sun: By appointment only
Bright Kids NYC states that since 2009, 90% of its students have received offers from top schools, and 90% of the families it works with gain admission to their top three private school choices. Year after year, over 80% of its children scored high enough to reach the 2nd Round of HCES, and five to ten children are admitted each year to HCES, which has a total class of 50 students. Over 80% of its students scored a 7 or above stanine across all subjects on the ISEE or SSAT, and those who worked with the program saw at least a 2 stanine increase in score over a few months. Its educators, writers, and consultants have published over 100 titles and sold over 10 million books. The company describes itself as New York City's premiere test prep company since 2009 and a leader in test prep and admissions consulting in NYC and beyond, and it is not affiliated with any daycare or preschool using a similar name.
Bright Kids was established in 2009. The Founder and CEO, Bige Doruk, received an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. The program’s mission is to get children prepared for any school admissions or assessment test, regardless of age or ability, by using a scientifically driven approach that aims to generate reliable results.
Bright Kids NYC reports that it has sponsored hundreds of children through scholarship programs or community outreach programs such as the Harlem Children's Zone.
One parent testimonial states that their family has been coming to Bright Kids for years and that both the tutoring services and books are “top notch,” describing the teachers as amazing and the staff as accommodating, and noting that all three of their children have attended Bright Kids for many years and have all gotten into “top notch schools.” The same parent says they would highly recommend the services.
