Join our movement

Are you passionate about closing the achievement gap? Interested in non-profit management? Wondering what it takes to work in a new organization?

Success Academy Charter Schools is a fast growing not-for-profit Charter Management Organization (CMO) that operates nine public charter elementary and middle schools throughout New York City. Over the next decade, our network will grow to 40 schools that provide a phenomenal K-8 public education to NYC school children. Our dual mission is to:
1. Offer children in New York City an exceptional public education that prepares them to succeed in college and life.
2. Forever alter the educational prospects for all public school children by creating a “tipping point” – moving a nation where educational failure is the norm to a nation that expects high-quality public school options for all children.
The internship is a full-time position during the summer, requiring 40 hours per week, and part-time during the spring and fall terms, requesting 15 hours per week. The position is minimally a 10-week commitment.

Each department plays a pivotal role in ensuring student success throughout the year.
