Join our movement

Success Charter Network is an ambitious charter management network of four high-performing charter schools in New York City. Over the next decade, our network will grow to 40 schools that provide access to high-quality education to children throughout New York City.

In 2006, Success Charter Network launched our flagship school, Harlem Success Academy 1 Charter School. With the opening of three additional schools in 2008, we are currently serving more than 1,500 students. We plan to launch three new schools in the fall of 2010 that all provide academically rigorous and well-rounded instruction in historically underserved communities.

Envision excellence

Our faculty, scholars and families are committed to excellence. In 2009, 100% of Harlem Success Academy 1 third graders passed the NYS math exam, with 71% achieving the top score of "4," ranking the school #1 out of all public charters in the state. 95% of Harlem Success Academy 1 third graders passed the NYS English Language Arts exam, with nearly a quarter achieving the top score of "4," ranking the school #2 out of all public charters in the state.

Harlem Success Academy 1 outperformed its school district by nearly 25 percentage points in English Language Arts. The percentage of students who are "advanced proficient" in math surpasses even the affluent Upper East Side of Manhattan by nearly 35%.

Support a growing network of success

Just as we invest in our scholars’ success from an early age, we begin planning for the school year during summer orientation to ensure all faculty have the tools and resources they need to be successful. The Success Charter Network includes External Affairs, Development, Human Resources, Operations & Family Affairs, Finance, Data & Accountability, Instructional Development and Technology. Each department plays a pivotal role in ensuring student success throughout the year.
