As the fastest growing, highest-performing public charter school network in New York State, Success Academy has reimagined public education. Primarily serving low-income families and communities, we have created a revolutionary K-12 school model that is nationally recognized for achieving outstanding academic results for students. We are seeking hard-working, fast-learning, exceptional candidates to join our revolution.

We welcome candidates just starting their career or considering a change and provide our Associate Teachers with intensive summer training at Success Academy’s Education Institute, as well as ongoing professional development from experienced teachers and talented school leaders.

As a Science Associate Teacher, you will hit the ground running to support students in the classroom. An ideal candidate should exude professionalism and self-awareness, relish the fast-track, take and implement feedback quickly, and possess a good sense of humor.
