Our Distinctive Approach to Academics

What are we preparing our students for?

Comprehensive Academic Programs for Students from the Greater Capital Region

Albany Academy has been preparing students for college and leadership for over 200 years. In that time the definition of “preparatory” has changed quite a bit—one thing that is certain is that it will continue to change. Today, we’re educating in new ways for the creative, entrepreneurial century that lies ahead. At the heart of our academic programs is a commitment to foster a lifelong love of learning for every student across Albany, Saratoga, Chatham, Bethlehem, NY, and the entire Capital Region. Our teachers and faculty are not only experts in their fields, but they are also passionate about guiding each student to discover their unique learning style. This personalized approach ensures that every student is both challenged and supported regardless of the subject matter or level.

If you believe our lower, middle, or upper school is right for your son or daughter, we encourage you to contact our admissions office and schedule a tour of our campus!
The overarching goal for students is that they will love to learn and are successful at doing so. This goal requires that teachers have a superior grasp of and passion for their subject(s) and are interested in discovering with each student his/her optimal learning style. Furthermore, this goal speaks to a willingness on the part of the teacher to find the appropriate level of materials to challenge all students according to their abilities and to provide effective instruments and avenues for all students to demonstrate what they have learned.
