Learn more about our other 59+ locations and visit our locations page!
Does it cost anything to attend the SA Bronx K-12 Campus?
No. The SA Bronx K – 12 Campus is a free, public charter school.
Success Academy also provides all children with necessary school supplies such as Chromebooks, software, pencils, and notebooks, as well as trips to museums and performances. Lunch and snacks are provided free of charge for all scholars, except on early dismissal days. Students who arrive at school early will also receive free breakfast every day.
Will younger students be with high schoolers?
Each grade has its own dedicated entrances, outdoor terraces, and learning areas. But all students will benefit from the resources available on campus.
Do you offer any arts or athletics programming?
Yes! We believe firmly that arts and athletics are co-curricular, not extracurricular, and they are built into our school day starting in kindergarten. As students progress, there are more competitive and even professional opportunities.
Are all the teachers at this school new?
No, in fact, the majority of teachers have been with Success Academy for many years, teaching at one of our other locations.
Do you offer busing?
No, we do not offer busing to or from the school. A close partnership between you and your child’s school is one of the most critical components of the Success Academy model. An important aspect of this partnership is the daily face-to-face interaction that you or another trusted adult will have with your child’s teacher during arrival and pickup.
Do you offer after-school programs?
Students have the choice to join after-school extracurriculars, sports, and clubs that each meet two afternoons a week.
Do you work with students who have IEPs?
Success Academy is committed to serving all children with IEPs. We offer an array of special education services and programs at our schools. We also work with the NYC Department of Education and external agencies to ensure speech, occupational, and physical therapists are available for our scholars with related service needs. If you have more specific concerns regarding your child’s individual requirements or IEP, please contact our Family Care Team at 646-472-1911, and a specialist will follow up with you to discuss further.
How do I apply?
What is the lottery process for admissions?
We hold a random lottery in April 2026. You’ll get results by email and in your application dashboard.
There are two outcomes: your child is either accepted or added to the waitlist. If a spot opens, we’ll reach out — just make sure your contact info is current.
Can current families transfer to the SA Bronx K-12 Campus?
Not at this time. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to our Family Care team at [email protected] or (646) 472-1911.
How can I schedule a visit or a tour of the campus?
What age do you have to be to start kindergarten?
Your child must be 5 years old by March 31, 2027, to start kindergarten in Fall 2026.
