About Success Academy

Since 2006, Success Academy has been redefining public education through a whole-child, academically rigorous approach and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. As the fastest-growing and highest-performing charter school network in New York State, our mission is to reimagine public education as an excellent, efficient, and equitable pillar of American society.

We rethink every aspect of school design-from developing rigorous curricula to integrating innovations in technology and operations that traditional systems often overlook. As a result, our 20,000+ scholars consistently outperform peers at top schools across the state.

A key driver of this mission is the Network Schooling Department, where we rapidly scale excellence across our K-12 model. Doing so requires us to never settle, constantly re-examining and transforming "what we do" and "how we do the work."
