I applied online. I interviewed at Success Academy Charter Schools (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
This has to be hands down one of the worst interviews I have ever been to. I was in absolute disbelief that the interviewers main focus was not on education but rather on disciplining children. At one point we even role played on how I would punish a child, to which the interviewer informed me to be even more strict. Considering that they work with a significant number of student of color, this practice feels incredibly racist. It seems like they are in the business of hiring correctional officers that punish children and guise themselves as pioneers of education. These company should not exist.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They prioritized asking me how beneficial it was for me to have strict teachers that supposedly aided my growth as a student (incredibly disturbing). As others have mentioned, they also asked me how strict my parents were?! Insanely unprofessional.
Asked you questions about your school experience and why you want to become a teacher. Did role play and asked how you would handle certain situations. Asked about various things and what your future goals are.
