Students in the Bronx excel when they attend Success Academy, New York City’s premier charter school.
With 13 locations throughout the Bronx, your student’s educational journey begins in elementary school and takes them all the way through the middle school experience. Students then matriculate to one of three Success Academy high schools in Brooklyn, Harlem, and Manhattan.
Learning doesn’t begin and end during the school day. Extracurricular activities and after-school programs provide academic and interpersonal enrichment for Success Academy students, helping them develop and thrive as they pursue their unique talents and interests. Success Academy schools offer a wide range of programs to help foster curiosity and growth, including the following:
Mastering chess helps students think strategically, build confidence, and make smarter decisions.
Visual arts such as working in clay, photography, textiles, and more, allow students to experiment and develop their technical skills and confidence.
Music students learn how to compose, improvise, and play instruments. After-school music clubs can even turn into opportunities in the Network chorus or elective classwork.
Students who participate in theater arts hone their craft, gain confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and learn the power of taking risks.
Success Academy’s soccer program starts in Kindergarten with basic skills and rules, but students can progress to organized team play as early as third grade.
Success Academy’s dance program begins as early as middle school, where students learn the fundamentals of group performance and culminates in performances for select students.
No! Applying to Success Academy takes a few minutes and is completely free. Attending Success Academy is also free. Admission to Success Academy schools is determined by a random lottery after the application deadline.
