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 part-time position during the fall and spring terms, requiring a minimum of 15 hours per week over a minimum of 10 weeks.

Support a growing network of success

Just as we invest in our scholars’ success from an early age, we are planning for our growing network of schools to ensure that our faculty has the tools and resources they need to be successful. The Success Academy Charter Schools includes External Affairs, Development, Human Resources, Marketing, Operations & Family Affairs, Finance, Data & Accountability, Instructional Development and Technology. Each department plays a pivotal role in ensuring student success throughout the year.
