The way you get in is by taking the test that might have the most frightening acronym I’ve ever seen: the Specialized High School Admissions Test, or SHSAT. New York has been embroiled. This would send the wrong m...

Exploring ideas for education. Minority Students and Private Schools. I just finished up at the Summer Changes Everything conference in Pittsburgh, held by the National Summer Learning Association. I was a skeptic coming in but it was a great experience, and I got some great ideas for staff training, fund raising, and family and alumni involvement in SPMPS.
