Academics

Our Distinctive Approach to Academics

What are we preparing our students for?

Albany Academy has been guiding students toward real-world readiness and leadership for over 200 years. While the meaning of ‘preparatory’ has evolved greatly over time, one certainty remains: it will continue to adapt. Today, we empower students to thrive and adapt in an ever-changing world—empowering them to be exceptional beyond measure.


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.
