Fellows are acclimated to our culture and values. They learn how to teach, and achieve excellent outcomes for kids.
Fellows who meet benchmarks advance to assistant principal. Targeted training continues to master the art of people management.
Fellows continue in the assistant principal role, increasing their readiness to become a principal at the start of the upcoming school year.
Fellows receive on-the-job development, 1:1 coaching, and mentoring, to support them as they adjust to operating outside of their comfort zone as they apply their critical thinking and strong communication skills in a classroom setting. Fellows will learn how to achieve high standards of teaching and learning in their classroom.
Fellows forge a strong network of talented, mission-driven leaders that will last throughout their career. In addition to building productive relationships with teachers, non-instructional staff, families, and students, fellows also forge connections with other fellows by visiting their schools and sharing challenges, feedback, and reflections.
As fellows develop management expertise, they’ll gain insights from key leaders at Success Academy who set a warm, firm tone, have a clear vision with aligned actions, and drive toward instructional and operational excellence. Fellows participate in projects to advance priorities while gaining visibility into decision-making and risk management at the enterprise level. During this time, fellows accrue the perspectives necessary to be a groundbreaking leader in the education reform space.
If you are selected to advance, you will be invited to a virtual interview with SA leaders. You will be assessed for your ability to translate your talents to the world of education.
We value clear thinking and strong writing so please take care with your application materials.
Learn more about this exciting opportunity. Bring us your questions. Together, we'll find out if we’re aligned in our values and people management philosophies.
If you are on track to receive an offer, we’ll discuss your school placement preferences. Fellows join the program in July, in time to start the new school year.
When I worked as a consultant, I developed and executed strategy from a 10,000-ft view. Now, as a principal, I'm managing the largest team I've ever managed. I own the outcomes and am responsible for making sure everyone understands - and does - their part.

I never thought I’d be a teacher or do anything in a school. But leading a team of teachers is not that different from leading a staff in a corporate environment.

What interested me the most about the Fellowship was the opportunity to hone my leadership skills while directly impacting scholars, teachers, and the community at large. It’s just really nice to see the immediacy of my reach and what I can do.
