Our commitment
Diversity, equity, and inclusion at Success Academy
Our north star is delivering world-class education that is profoundly empowering for all kids, but especially kids of color. To achieve this, we must have schools and workplaces that live and breathe the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Fostering an environment of inclusion and belonging
The success of our mission depends on a highly diverse team. Roughly half our staff members are people of color and we are committed to ensuring every employee is empowered as an individual and has the resources and opportunities to experience fulfilling career growth.
Inclusion & curriculum advisory councils
Open to any staff member at SA with rotating membership, these Councils monitor DE&I in our culture and curriculum and advise executive leaders.

Career advancement series
To ensure equitable access to career opportunities and advancement, the CEO hosts webinars on pathways to leadership roles to ensure transparency and access.
Reading and learning
SA staff engage in DE&I training, have access to an Equity Library to further their self-education, and participate in an enterprise-wide book club centered on powerful works about racism.
