ACADEMICS

At Albany Academy, we’ve been preparing students for college, leadership, and life for over 200 years. While the meaning of “preparatory” continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: our commitment to inspiring students to thrive in an ever-changing world. Today, we’re educating for the creative, entrepreneurial century ahead, fostering a lifelong love of learning in students from Albany, Saratoga, Chatham, Bethlehem, and across the Capital Region.

Our expert faculty bring passion and purpose to every classroom, guiding students to discover their unique learning styles. This personalized approach ensures each student is both challenged and supported, empowering them to think critically, solve problems creatively, and excel across all areas of study.

From the moment I transferred here halfway through freshman year, I was welcomed into an environment where hard work and dedication were celebrated, in and out of the classroom. Leading student government has helped me grow into a confident public speaker and leader. My college counselor helped me navigate the application process, with regimented deadlines and benchmarks to ensure I am ahead of the game. I can’t picture myself anywhere else. Brody Staff '25
