Helping your child compete for New York City’s best public high schools — and everything that comes next. 

By All Means Scholars is a program for New York City families who want more for their child: real preparation, real connections, and  real options for high school and beyond. We work with students from 4th through 8th grade, building the skills, confidence, and  support system it takes to compete for the city’s best public high schools. This isn’t about cramming for one test — it's about giving  your child years to grow into a strong, confident young leader. 

Who We Serve: Grades 4-8

5 Year Plan: To build real skills, not cram

Income-Based: Pricing tailored to your budget

W H A T Y O U R C H I L D G E T S 

  • Academic Skill-Building — Personalized math and reading support at your child’s own pace. 

  • Test Strategy — SHSAT-specific skills and stamina, taught when your child is ready. 

  • Mentorship and Belonging — A caring mentor who’s walked this road — part tutor, part role model. 

  • Family Support and Navigation — Every deadline, form, and decision explained in plain language. 

  • Social Capital and Real-World Experiences — Campus visits, professional connections, and confidence-building experiences — a huge  part of what we offer. 

O U R E X P E R I E N C E

Founded by two lifelong educators. Several of our senior associates have walked this exact path themselves — into NYC’s most  competitive public high schools, and then into extremely competitive colleges and universities and beyond. 

Our promise isn't a seat at one specific school. Our promise is that your child will have real options when the time comes. 

I N V E S T M E N T — Pricing That Fits Your Family 

Pricing is based on your household income, not a fixed sticker price. After your free consultation, you’ll get a personalized first-year quote and we'll build a 12-month payment plan together — reviewed every year as your family’s situation changes. 

In the works: A college-bound program for our high school alumni based on and created from what we’re learning with our first groups of By All Means Scholars. 

Let’s talk about your child — a free, no-pressure conversation.
