For more than 20 years, Goldberg Kohn has been proud to support charter schools that provide opportunities for students and families whose educational options might otherwise limit their pathway to success. For children and families who want access to high-quality public education, tuition-free charter schools often provide the best opportunity to maximize students' potential in a rigorous learning environment that promotes high expectations and success. We share a deep commitment to this vision and partner with charter schools to further their missions.
Success Academy has created a national model of access to excellence for children across all demographics. Now the size of New York state’s fifth largest school district, and the highest performing school system in the state in terms of student achievement, Success Academy enrolls 20,000-plus children in more than 50 elementary, middle and high schools. Most of its students are children of color from low-income households in disadvantaged neighborhoods, admitted through a random public lottery. Its distinctive K-12 approach, designed as a holistic 13-year educational trajectory, leads to student outcomes that outpace affluent suburban school.
