Success Academy empowers students to imagine a bright future and achieve it, delivering opportunity through an exceptional education, and speaks out against forces that stand in the way of every student attending to a top-notch public school.

 

Under the leadership of Founder and Chief Executive Officer Eva Moskowitz, Success Academy is at a pivotal and transformational moment in its accomplished history.

Amongst these 100 schools, Success Academy is preparing to create a state-of-the-art K-12 campus which will provide a one-of-a-kind pedagogical experience for over 2,000 scholars. The campus’s planned innovations in instruction and curriculum design will create the fulcrum where policy makers, educators, and civic and business leaders around the world can visualize and reimagine the future of public education.
