School Overview

Success Academy Charter School-Fort Greene is part of the Success Academy network, the largest and highest-performing charter school network in New York City. Located in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, the school follows the organization's signature "no-excuses" educational model, which emphasizes rigorous academics, high behavioral expectations, and a data-driven approach to instruction. The school is known for its extended school days and school years, aiming to provide students with more instructional time to master core subjects like mathematics, literacy, and science.

The school places a significant focus on preparing students for college and career readiness from an early age. Beyond traditional academics, the curriculum often integrates enrichment programs such as chess, art, and athletics to foster critical thinking and well-rounded development. Because it is a public charter school, it operates independently of the traditional district school system, and admission is typically conducted through a random lottery system that is open to all New York City residents.
