Thanks 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! We work tirelessly every day to ensure each 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 53 schools in NYC a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

Job Description :

Are you passionate, driven, and looking for an intellectually charged environment where you can make an impact? As a teacher in New York City’s top-performing network of K-12 charter schools, you will join a team of professionals committed to teaching and preparing children from low-income neighborhoods to be self-assured thinkers and leaders, capable of exploring and debating sophisticated ideas, and ready for college and whatever they set their sights on.

A background in education is not required. At Success Academy, we provide you with extensive training and a proven curriculum so you can focus on working with your students instead of building lesson plans.

As we move rapidly toward our most ambitious years yet, we are looking for great minds with the drive to develop exceptional leadership skills, the collaborative spirit to elevate our learning community, and the passion to put their knowledge to work for profound social impact on behalf of children.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Lesson Planning and Instruction :

Develop and implement lesson plans that align with curriculum standards and cater to diverse learning styles.

Utilize a variety of instructional strategies and technologies to enhance learning.

Manage a classroom of 20+ scholars.

2. Assessment and Evaluation :

Assess student progress through assignments, tests, and observations.

Provide timely feedback and support to help students improve.

Maintain accurate records of student performance and progress.

3. Classroom Management :

Establish and enforce classroom rules and procedures to maintain a productive learning environment.

4. Communication and Collaboration :

Communicate regularly with students, parents, and guardians regarding academic progress and behavioral issues.

Collaborate with other teachers, staff, and administration to support student success.

Career Advancement and Skill Development :

Success Academy gives you unparalleled opportunities to gain valuable professional skills and advance rapidly with leadership opportunities available both in the classroom and outside.

Sharpen your communication skills and develop strong, meaningful relationships with students, their families, and your peers and mentors.

This is inclusive of writing letters of recommendation at the middle school and high school level.

Become a highly skilled problem solver able to tackle challenges in and out of the classroom.

Learn to assess and analyze data to chart your students’ growth and achievement, and tailor your own teaching methods accordingly.

Engage in professional development opportunities with school leaders to benefit from targeted, in-the-moment feedback and coaching to improve your performance.

Have the opportunity to grow as a leader and ultimately a leader of the entire grade team. There are also opportunities to enter our school leadership track as an assistant principal as well as to transition to our network office.

Minimum Qualifications :

A bachelor’s degree before your first day of work with Success Academy (a background in education is not required)

Strong communication and interpersonal skills

Passion for learning and commitment to student development

Ability to work in person in New York City ($2500 stipend for qualified relocations)

Preferred Qualifications :

Bachelor’s degree in Education or related field

A rigorous and relevant academic major (i.e, biology, history, chemistry, economics, physics, English, mathematics, engineering)

What We Look For :

  • Drive for Excellence : You set ambitious goals for yourself and have never been afraid of putting in the hard work it takes to achieve them;
  • Confidence and Presence : You enjoy taking the lead and inspiring others with your passion and commitment;
