Success Academy, a well-known charter school network, will open its first Florida campus in Miami. Governor Ron DeSantis announced the move as part of the state’s Schools of Hope initiative, which aims to increase educational opportunities for families in areas with consistently low-performing schools.
“Florida leads the nation in educational freedom, and today we are adding to that promise,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “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 also commented on the development. “Under Governor DeSantis’ leadership, parents are empowered to choose the educational path that best suits their children’s unique needs,” he said. “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 was established in 2017 with the goal of providing students attending persistently low-performing schools with new educational opportunities. The program supports nonprofit charter networks known as Hope Operators that have demonstrated success working with low-income communities and removing barriers to high-quality education.
Governor DeSantis has stated his commitment to expanding options for students and families through legislative measures and new initiatives.
