Around the world, people look at America and our gun violence problem and cannot understand how a country like ours simply allows this to happen over and over again. The beginning of the school year should be full of excitement and joy — but for the Apalachee High School community — it’s now anything but. They are now dealing with the unimaginable loss of two students and two teachers and others wounded. In the midst of an election year, regardless of who you support, we must all support ending the senseless epidemic of gun violence — and achieve safety in our schools.  All of us at Success Academy Charter Schools mourn the loss of these innocents, and our hearts go out to their families and school community.  

If you’ve seen our elementary school drop-off, you’ve seen our Senior Leaders greeting scholars and families each morning! Our SLs know everyone in their schools, greeting scholars by name with a handshake to get the day started. It’s also a great opportunity for families to engage with our school leadership and build our SA community.

Recently, we conducted an extensive training session for over 500 educators, dedicating time to ensure preparedness for the current school year. Our training involves a range of topics, including effective classroom management strategies, an in-depth exploration of our world class curriculum, and guidance to foster strong partnerships with parents. With this comprehensive preparation, our teachers are equipped to inspire and educate the minds of the future.

10 years ago, we opened our doors to our first high school, Success Academy of the Liberal Arts Manhattan. Now, a decade later, we have three incredible high schools full of competitive arts and athletics programs, dual-enrollment opportunities with some of NYC’s most notable institutions, and 100% of our scholars accepted to 4 year colleges (a stat that has been maintained since the very first class)! This year, we will have two graduating senior classes - our Harlem High School will celebrate its inaugural graduating class - marking another incredible milestone for our high schools. We are so excited to see our three high schools support the paths of the next generation!

See how we’re all back in school, dressed in our uniforms, and ready to learn? Very mindful!

Our Summer Experience Program provides access to learning opportunities all over the world in STEM, humanities, arts, talent, and outdoor leadership. These programs help build skill sets and give our scholars incredible experiences that challenge them to continue to grow and learn outside of the classroom. We caught up with two Success Academy High School of the Liberal Arts-Harlem scholars about their Summer Experiences. Leonardo R. spent the summer on an expedition in Iceland and Ermina K. studied medicine at the Oxford Royale Summer School in the United Kingdom. When asked about their experiences, Leo said, “Outside of my comfort zone, I was able to experience things I could never do in the city. I’m so privileged to have been able to do this with my summer,” which is one of the main reasons why we offer these free experiences for our scholars!

It’s official, everyone is back in school and we couldn’t be more excited about it! Each year, we look forward to welcoming our scholars — new and returning — to the classroom. This year, we’re even more excited because it's the year of the Education Moonshot! We’ve reverse-engineered all of our K-12 content across every subject and are teaching brand-new disciplines to ensure an exceptional education experience for our scholars and teachers. Take a look at some highlights from the first days of school and make sure you’re following along to see all of the amazing things our scholars accomplish this 24-25 school year.

Meet your new SA high schoolers! On their first day, they learned that while they focus on working towards getting into the college of their dreams, we will focus on making sure the next four years are the best part of their SA journey. Not all high schools are created equal and what sets us apart includes: -Support with SAT and AP prep -Dual enrollment opportunities -Dedicated college support, mentorship, and direction -Access to partnerships with notable institutions -World-class athletics and scholar talent programs -Discovering clubs and exploring new passions And the opportunity to continue the legacy of a 100% college acceptance rate (which we’ve had for 7 years in a row and counting). Let’s hear it for the class of 2032!

Over the past few weeks, our organization has diligently trained hundreds of teachers - equipping them with the tools and expertise needed to deliver a high-quality education to our scholars. Not only do we provide this summer training, but we continue this professional development all year long with weekly training and daily coaching, so you can continue to develop your skills in and out of the classroom.
