The value of an exceptional private education has never been higher. As we navigate a world that requires resilience, resourcefulness, and proactivity, our children will need to be guided by experienced educators who are role models as well as masters of their subjects. With 200+ years of educational excellence, we've provided each student that has passed through our doors the ability to grow, develop, and prepare for the world in and outside the classroom. Our lower, middle, and upper school welcomes prospective students throughout Albany, Saratoga, Chatham, Bethlehem, NY, and the entire Capital Region. We encourage you to contact us to learn more about our comprehensive academic programs - or better yet - come and visit our beautiful campus.

Thank you for considering making The Albany Academy your child's private school. We look forward to hearing from you!
