No, we are a free public charter school! Success Academy also provides all children with necessary school supplies such as Chromebooks, software, pencils, and notebooks, arts and athletics supplies, as well as trips to museums and performances. No fundraising necessary, and no catch for families.
Success Academy is a public charter school, which means it’s funded by federal, state, and local tax dollars — just like traditional public schools. That funding means there’s no tuition, no fees, and no cost to families. Every seat is free, and any student can apply.
Sharing space with high schoolers gives our students access to beautiful facilities they wouldn’t normally have—auditoriums, gyms, track and fields. We have safely operated schools this way for 20 years, by thoughtfully using available space and coordinating schedules and shared areas as needed.

We are pleased to invite you to the Success Academy Spring Benefit on Monday, April 7, 6:30 p.m. at Cipriani 42nd Street. This will be a very special evening, as we celebrate our Success Academy alumni – their work ethic, their achievements, and their aspirations. We hope you will join us to hear their stories!
Nearly 20 years ago, we launched a revolution in schooling. We promised students, families, and educators that there is a better way – that they didn’t have to settle for failing district schools. Today, Success is one of the nation’s highest-achieving school districts, educating 22,000 K-12 scholars across 57 schools in New York City. Ninety-five percent of our scholars are children of color and three-quarters live at or below the poverty line, but they consistently outperform their affluent suburban peers across the wide range of external exams from New York State tests to APs and SATs. All our scholars – 100% – have been admitted to 4-year colleges, most of them with the financial aid that makes higher education possible for their families.
After two decades, we have demonstrated that we can reverse, not just close, the achievement gap. Our alumni are proof that exceptional outcomes are possible for all children, and that great schooling can be achieved at scale. As they graduate from college, they are paving the way for those who follow, serving as campus leaders, earning advanced degrees, and launching careers in STEM, finance, and education, among many other fields. We could not be more proud of them and all that they stand for.
We remain steadfast in our belief that every kid deserves a great public school. And we are more ambitious than ever, expanding as quickly as we can to serve more kids and more families. You have been so generous in your support for our schools and our scholars. We hope to count on you once again on April 7 as we show what kids can do given the opportunity to work hard and dream big.
Warmly,
