About

Our philosophy

We foster a love of learning while creating opportunities for children to become critical and creative thinkers, build life skills and confidence, pursue passions, and secure exceptional careers. Our dual mission is to build world-class K-12 public schools in NYC while advocating to change policies that prevent children from accessing excellent educational experiences.

About

Real change starts within

We believe all children should have access to an excellent education. Our mission to deliver educational equity is founded on our belief in the power of children to learn and achieve. When children have access to high-quality teaching—and supportive adults who hold them to high expectations–almost anything is within their grasp. We’re committed to constant reflection and improvement, and we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in all that we do.

In 2023, Success Academy ranked #1 in the state in Math test scores. In addition to being first in Math, the charter network ranked #3 in English Language Arts among districts with test participation rates of 95% or more. In a time when racial disparities in achievement and access to opportunities continued to persist across the city and state, no other large school district in the state came close to Success Academy’s scores among Black and Hispanic students.
