WHAT MAKES THE ALBANY ACADEMIES SO SPECIAL?
What is so special about being a student at The Albany Academies? It’s being part of a home away from home… part of a family... having teachers who know and love you… being a member of a community where ideals are valued and differences are celebrated.
Attending the Academies makes a real and lasting difference in the lives of young men and women. For our students, it means promise and opportunity – a chance to follow their dreams in a world where no goal is unattainable.
Our small classes provide a greater opportunity for students to participate in class and develop better relationships with teachers. Students at the Academies take part in activities that create memories that last a lifetime, such as engaging in numerous public speaking opportunities in front of faculty and their peers, participating on an athletics team; getting on stage for a play or musical; or taking part in community outreach activities that improve the lives of others.
WHAT SETS THE ALBANY ACADEMIES APART?
Our students demonstrate excellence in a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes academics, performance in the arts, participation in athletics and development of leadership skills through community service activities.
Our school is comprised of two campuses for students in the Preschool (ages 3-5), Lower (K-4), Middle (5-8) and Upper (9-12) Schools, and offers single-gender instruction during crucial developmental times and co-educational opportunities when appropriate. Our average class size is 12-14 students, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 10-1.
The Academies are committed to developing the potential of the whole individual by building a community that fosters scholarship, leadership, character, service, and creativity. Our core values include responsibility, self-discipline, compassion, ingenuity, respect, service, integrity and perseverance.
UNPARALLELED LOCATION & FACILITIES
The Academies are located in the University Heights section of Albany. Several colleges, medical centers, the state capitol, the state museum and library, and the cultural resources of the city are easily accessible from the campus.
