Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.
Tired of the Northeast winters? Ready to trade the slush for the sunshine without leaving the mission behind?
Success Academy is the fourth-largest public school system in New York State, serving nearly 22,000 predominantly Black and Hispanic students from low-income backgrounds. We lead the state in math and reading performance, and 100% of our graduates have been accepted to four-year colleges. We've proven what's possible in New York---now, we're taking that proven excellence to Florida.
We are looking for high-performing Tri-State educators ready to make a literal life-style change. This is a unique, phased transition for the 2027-2028 Florida launch:
If you're a proven leader in the NY/NJ/CT area ready to trade your winter coat for a founding role in the Sunshine State, your next chapter starts here.
The Assistant Principal role at Success Academy is a high-impact leadership position for educators who want to develop adults, strengthen teaching and learning, and drive outstanding student outcomes across an entire school.
The role is fundamentally about people management to achieve high-quality learning for every student. The Assistant Principal takes full ownership of schooling and instructional excellence across multiple grade levels and content areas, developing and holding teachers accountable to meet and exceed Success Academy's school quality standards. As a key member of the leadership team, the Assistant Principal has a deep understanding of the SA standard for excellence, communicates expectations with clarity, and acts quickly to improve adult practice through feedback and coaching.
In close partnership with the Principal, the Assistant Principal helps lead school-wide systems, professional development, and family engagement, ensuring excellence throughout the building.
This position is intentionally designed as a pathway to the principalship. Assistant Principals master people management, instructional leadership, and school culture stewardship, with the expectation of readiness for the principal role within three years.
