Academics
Exceptional is no exception at The Albany Academies. Our long-standing tradition of academic excellence has consistently prepared students to excel in an ever-evolving world, equipping them with the tools to adapt and lead. We foster academic rigor alongside the emotional and intellectual growth of each student, to cultivate caring, curious minds.
Culture
Our students thrive in a supportive, approachable environment where they feel secure. We believe there's a place for everyone here, and we ensure that all feel included. With small class sizes, we provide personalized attention, fostering engaging and well-informed conversations.
Opportunities
We shine because we help others shine. Students at The Albany Academies are offered a well-rounded education, with extensive arts opportunities—including visual arts, theater, music, and a dance program—along with a robust Athletics program offering a diverse range of sports. Each student is required to play at least one sport, as we strong believe that team-building is an essential social benefit for our students.
