The Success Institute Charter School has found a new home.

The Boys & Girls Club of the Piedmont announced Friday that it has reached an agreement to share its facility with the local charter school. 

Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, Success Institute will lease the Boys & Girls Club facility for use during daytime hours when school is in session. This collaboration allows Success Institute to conduct its daytime school operations in a safe, well-equipped environment while ensuring that the Boys & Girls Club of the Piedmont continues to provide its vital After-School and Summer Camp programs without interruption.

There will be no loss of services for either organization. This partnership strengthens both institutions by maximizing the use of the Boys & Girls Club building and reinforcing both entities’ commitment to serving the youth of our community.

“We are excited about this opportunity to work alongside Success Institute Charter School,” said Cory Knight, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of the Piedmont. “This partnership allows us to be even more efficient with our resources while continuing to provide the high-quality programs our families rely on.”

“This partnership will add more resources for the growing need of students and families as the education system and country navigates through these difficult times,” Success Institute Principal Shadrach Martin said. “The mission and vision has always been to grow students and families over the past 25 years. We are excited to enter into a new era of growth.”

Success Institute is still enrolling students for the 2025-2026 school year.
