Success Academy is redefining what’s possible in public education. Founded in 2006, we set out to tackle the education crisis with a groundbreaking school design that delivers a rigorous, whole-child education to students from all backgrounds. Today, as the fastest growing, highest-performing charter school network in New York, our network of 47 K-12 schools outperforms every district in the state, proving irrefutably that all children are capable of excellence.

Job Description

The Robertson Leadership Fellows (RLF) Program is designed for exceptional individuals looking for a meaningful career change and provides the opportunity to bring your business expertise to the education sector. The program trains talent new to education to become Principals in our growing network of schools. Underwritten by investor and philanthropist Julian Robertson, The Leadership Fellows program is grounded in the work of the Robertson Center at Success Academy, an initiative to share Success Academy’s school design and methods with educators across the country to accelerate school improvement and deliver an outstanding education to all children.

The Robertson Leadership Fellows at Success Academy provides ambitious managers and industry leaders with the training, resources, and mentorship required to become school leaders.
