New York, NY – Earlier this week DREAMChasers and Khan’s Tutorial’s SHSAT program were featured on Spectrum NY1 News. DREAMChasers, an organization founded by Bronx Science Alum, Attorney Jason Clark provides SHSAT tutoring and mentorship for students from underrepresented backgrounds. As the tutoring partner of DREAMChasers, Khan’s Tutorial’s goal is to ensure all students, regardless of zip code or school funding, have an opportunity to attend NYC’s top public high schools. Due to the success of the program, DREAMChasers plans to expand to Southeast Queens next year.

This weekend, current Common Core students will be taking the first diagnostic practice exam of the school year. Families are encouraged to start preparing now for the Spring Common Core Exams.

New York, NY — Last week, Mayor Bill De Blasio admitted his plan to eliminate the SHSAT was flawed saying, “The attempt we made to address it was just not effective and we have to come to grips with that and I have to take responsibility for that.” The Mayor and Richard A. Carranza, Education Chancellor of New York, pushed for the removal of the SHSAT as well as Gifted and Talented Programs across the city. The Mayor’s intention was to diversify the Specialized High Schools and increase the amount of black and Hispanic students.
