About Success Academy

Success Academy (SA) was founded in 2006 with the mission of reimagining public education as an excellent, efficient, and equitable pillar of American society. In the 2024-2025 school year, our 57 schools serve 22,000 scholars, kindergarten through 12th grade, in many of the lowest-income neighborhoods of New York City. As one of the nation’s highest-performing districts, we stand as an exemplar and resource for educators, schools, and districts across the country. We have outperformed affluent white students on the available standardized metrics, and educators who worked and trained at Success are leading preeminent schools and districts around the country. All of our graduates – 100% – have been accepted to four-year colleges, and our alumni are enrolled in selective colleges and universities across the country.

2024 Spring Benefit

Passion, Perseverance, Preparedness

In April 2024, we celebrated the passion, perseverance, and preparedness that drive our community and mission every day. Dr. Angela Duckworth, New York Times best-selling author, joined Founder & CEO Eva Moskowitz in conversation about what we’ve known from the start – success takes grit.
