Success Academy, a well-known charter school network, will open its first Florida campus in Miami. The announcement was made by Governor Ron DeSantis as part of the state’s Schools of Hope initiative. This move aims to expand educational opportunities for families in areas with schools that have struggled academically.
Governor DeSantis stated, “Florida leads the nation in educational freedom, and today we are adding to that promise. With Success Academy opening in Miami, students will now have access to one of the highest-performing education models in the country. Florida’s families deserve world-class education, and we will continue to make it available to every child no matter their zip code.”
Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas added, “Under Governor DeSantis’ leadership, parents are empowered to choose the educational path that best suits their children’s unique needs. Success Academy offers families another high-quality option, backed by a nationally recognized track record of academic excellence and school improvement.”
The Schools of Hope program began in 2017 with the goal of helping students from persistently low-performing schools access better educational opportunities. The program supports nonprofit charter networks known as Hope Operators that have demonstrated success serving low-income communities and improving student achievement.
