Every day our students prove that children from all demographics can achieve in school and life when presented with the right opportunities.
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.
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.
At SA schools with testing grades across the network — a total of 45 schools and 11,000 test takers — 82.7% passed Math, with 56% scoring at the highest level of 4, and 76.4% passed ELA, with 33% scoring a 4. In contrast, at New York City district schools, 37.9% of students passed Math and 49% passed ELA. Our Black and Hispanic scholars achieved proficiency rates double and even triple that of their NYC district peers.
More than a school
Our leaders work collaboratively to build and open more schools, while continuously improving the quality of educational experiences for our students.
Our thriving community of alumni is what keeps us pumping. With a 4 year college acceptance rate of 100% for the fourth year in a row, Success Academy alumni play an important role in inspiring the next generation of scholars.
We are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our schools give children from all backgrounds access to an exceptional education, including a curriculum that elevates diverse voices and an inclusive educational environment that invites scholars to question, debate, and think critically.
Every member of our community takes ownership! We take responsibility for making sure that our schools and scholars are reaching the highest possible standards across the board.
