CEO and Founder at Success Academy Charter Schools

New York, New York, United States

About

As founder and CEO of Success Academy Charter Schools, the largest and best-performing public charter school network in New York State, I have made it my mission to challenge the conventional wisdom that children from high-need neighborhoods cannot achieve at the highest academic levels. Since I opened the first Success Academy in Harlem in 2006, I have been a leader in education reform, offering parents an alternative to chronically low-performing schools and helping thousands of children fulfill their academic potential. Today, Success Academy operates 57 schools and employs hundreds of teachers and other professionals. Learn more in my new memoir, The Education of Eva Moskowitz, available at Amazon now.
