High School Teacher

Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

Hiring for School Year 2026-27!

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.

Career Advancement and Skill Development

Success Academy gives you unparalleled opportunities to gain valuable professional skills and advance rapidly with leadership opportunities available both in the classroom and outside. As a teacher at Success you will sharpen your communication skills, become a highly skilled problem solver, learn to assess and analyze data to chart your students’ growth, and engage in professional development opportunities with school leaders. There are also opportunities to grow as a leader of the entire grade team, enter the school leadership track as an assistant principal, or transition to our network office.

Benefits and Growth

At Success Academy, we invest boldly in our teachers through exceptional pay growth, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, and career pathways that enable you to advance into leadership within an average of three years! We offer health and wellbeing that starts day one, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a monthly cellphone stipend, and access to counseling. You will enjoy time to recharge with paid time off during summer break, school vacation weeks, and holidays, as well as generous paid parental leave. Our accelerated growth and recognition programs feature intensive training, ongoing coaching, and significant salary growth opportunities. We also provide financial security for your future through a 403(b) retirement plan with a 3% employer match, quarterly HSA contributions, and income protection plans. All roles qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness after 10 years; most schools are eligible for Teacher Loan Forgiveness after 5 years of teaching.
