Success Academy Expands to Miami with $50 Million Boost from Founder Ken Griffin

In a major move to extend its educational reach in Florida, charter network Success Academy is launching operations in Miami with substantial backing from its founder, Ken Griffin, who pledged $50 million toward the initiative. This expansion marks the network’s first foray into Florida, and it aims to establish several schools over the coming years—offering rigorous college-preparatory instruction in underserved communities. Griffin’s investment will support facility development, hiring, and program implementation to bring the Success model to new students in the region. The newly announced rollout reflects both the urgency of education reform in Miami and the confidence in charter-based approaches to deliver opportunity and high academic standards.
