Broad Foundation Awards $2.5 Million in New Grants to Expand Premier Public Charter Schools in New York City

Success Charter Network, founded in 2006, is a 501(c)(3) charter management organization that seeks to prepare its students to graduate from college and succeed in life and to tangibly improve educational outcomes for all public school children. Success Charter Network aims to open schools where excellent teachers want to teach and where parents choose to enroll their
children and play a greater role in their children’s learning and in the larger effort to reform public education. The network’s elementary schools provide students in high-need neighborhoods with a broad, rigorous curriculum in order to prevent achievement gaps from arising between low-income children and their more affluent counterparts. In addition to challenging academics such as writing, social studies, geography, arts and inquiry science five days a week, the schools offer crucial developmental activities like chess and play that focus on developing the “whole child.” For more information, please visit www.harlemsuccess.org.
