My Story

 

As founder and CEO of Success Academy Charter Schools, the largest and best-performing public charter school network in New York City, I have made it my mission to challenge the conventional wisdom that children from low-income, minority neighborhoods cannot achieve at the highest academic levels.

Families, like Nana Hawawu Alawiye's, put education first. Thank you for taking a chance with @successacademy. So grateful you're part of our community! #InsideSuccess
The science is clear: children need phonics instruction to become strong readers. It is negligence of the highest order when schools fail to provide this essential foundation.
So grateful to the SA Operations teams for their incredible work in transforming 594 classrooms and delivering over 500,000 essential materials to our 47 schools this summer!
Remembering those we've lost and honoring the bravery of our first responders and service members today. #NeverForget #September11th
Love!! The joys of reading are contagious #InsideSuccess! #Repost @ms.turk_1 ・・・ WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!!! For our first day of first grade, we had a EPIC unveiling of our brand new library! We can’t wait to dive into these amazing books! ✨💗 So excited for another year together! #insidesuccess #gordon2034
When our first school was founded, we were looking to build a replicable model, and share it as widely as possible. Today, @SuccessAcademy serves thousands of mostly low-income children of color, is 7th largest and highest performing district in New York State.
I can't wait to see you grow up and teach math to future scholars #InsideSuccess! #Repost @sammie_babie ・・・ My first grader wants to be a #teacher and likes #math 📚 🐛 #FirstDayOfSchool
This summer, staff #InsideSuccess took part in "One Network, One Book" club by reading and discussing "One Last Word" by #NikkiGrimes, a book of poetry inspired by the Harlem Renaissance. This shared experience across our network exemplifies the passion for reading we instill in our scholars.
Every year, our teachers invest time and imagination in the creation of these beautiful bulletin boards. They are not only displays of community pride, but also reinforce our commitment to instructional excellence and celebrating hard work. Bravo! #insidesuccess
Thank you, Chevasia -- we appreciate all of our interns' participation in this year's inaugural program! I'm grateful to the @successacademy HR team for creating this wonderful opportunity for future educators. #Repost @myteachingchronicles ・・・ My six week Teaching Internship #insidesuccess was absolutely one of the best experiences of my life. I am honored to be part of the inaugural cohort of SA Teaching Interns. I have learned so much! I traveled to many great places in NYC! My future is so much brighter.
