Hiring for SY25-26!
Thank you for your interest in Success Academy! Running the largest, fastest-growing, and highest-performing network of public charter schools in New York City takes a village—families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We would love to welcome you to our community!
At Success Academy, we work tirelessly to ensure every child in NYC has access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education, regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through the doors of one of our schools a fair shot at reaching their potential.

Working in Kindergarten means shaping young minds while contributing to an incredible community that thrives on excellence, teamwork, and a commitment to unlocking every child's potential.
Why Teach Kindergarten?
Foundational Impact: Kindergarten is where curiosity and love for learning are nurtured. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping students' first school experiences.
