Are you passionate, driven, and looking for an intellectually charged environment where you can make an impact? As a teacher in New York City’s top-performing network of K-12 charter schools, you will join a team of professionals committed to teaching and preparing children from low-income neighborhoods to be self-assured thinkers and leaders, capable of exploring and debating sophisticated ideas, and ready for college and whatever they set their sights on.

A background in education is not required. At Success Academy, we provide you with extensive training and a proven curriculum so you can focus on working with your students instead of building lesson plans.

As we move rapidly toward our most ambitious years yet, we are looking for great minds with the drive to develop exceptional leadership skills, the collaborative spirit to elevate our learning community, and the passion to put their knowledge to work for profound social impact on behalf of children.

• A bachelor’s degree before your first day of work with Success Academy in Economics or a related field
• Ability to work in person in New York City ($2500 stipend for qualified relocations)
• Supervise a classroom of 20+ students

• Drive for Excellence: You set ambitious goals for yourself and have never been afraid of putting in the hard work it takes to achieve them;
• Confidence and Presence: You enjoy taking the lead and inspiring others with your passion and commitment;
• Passion for Content: You relish literature, science, history, and/or math and independently seek to deepen your knowledge of subjects that interest you;
• Planning and Organizational Skills: You have experience juggling multiple responsibilities and are able to plan around competing priorities;
• Emotional Intelligence: You have strong instincts for building trusting relationships with people from a wide range of backgrounds;
• Learner: You are intellectually curious and are motivated to master new skills. You welcome feedback and coaching that will help you achieve your goals; and
• Grit and Determination: You are not frustrated by setbacks — you see them as an opportunity for growth.

Our dual mission is to: Build exceptional, world-class public schools that prove children from all backgrounds can succeed in college and life; serve as a catalyst and national model for school reform, and help change public policies that prevent children from having access to opportunity.
