Job Description

We're currently seeking exceptional Assistant Principals to join our Leadership Team.

Leadership at Success

Training will provide resources and coaching required to become exceptional school leaders. Assistant Principals function as Principals-in-training, receiving comprehensive professional development that will hone their craft until they are ready to lead a Success Academy school at the highest level.

The Program offers an exciting opportunity to work with a cohort of like-minded colleagues across our growing network-professionals committed to education reform and the creation and growth of exemplary schools.

Getting Ready for Success

In the summer months, Assistant Principals attend our Leader Training Institute Leader Summit, which provides core training on every aspect of school leadership, ranging from in-depth training on our curriculum and teacher development, to school operations and management. In partnership with their Principal and other school leadership team members, they devise plans to effectively launch the academic year, ensuring the faculty has the tools and resources necessary to be successful.

Growing Your Skills: Leadership, Innovation, Critical Thinking

We believe that the best training involves authentic practice and real-time feedback. As core members of our leadership team, Assistant Principals assume greater responsibility and accountability for delivering student results as their time in the role progresses.
