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.

At Success, non-academic subjects aren't 'extra' but essential. Scholar Talent and electives serve as critical, creative outlets for scholars to explore and develop their passions and talents in athletics, chess, debate and visual and performing arts. We expect Scholar Talent teachers to be masters of their craft and share their passion, talent and experience in the classroom.

• Engage students with a repertoire that is relevant to their lives and interests
• Design and executing professional-quality performance opportunities for all scholars

We invite you to apply if you:

• Achieved outstanding academic results
• Have professional training in a rigorous theater program or extensive professional performance credit
• Have a passion about theater and learning and for working with children and implementing effective theater instruction
• Set ambitious goals for yourself and others, and are not afraid of putting in the hard work it takes to achieve them
• Have confidence and presence - You enjoy taking the lead and inspiring others with your passion and commitment
• Enjoy collaborating with others (i.e., playing on an athletics team, or in a band or orchestra)
• Have leadership experience (i.e. leadership position on a club or team; experience overseeing/managing people or organizing activities)
• Pay strong attention to detail, and have experience juggling multiple responsibilities and planning around competing priorities
