The Albany Academy In our lower and middle schools, boys gain confidence and skills that will last their entire lives. These early and transitional years are vital for gaining the foundation to succeed at more challenging work ahead. Learning takes place in small classes with plenty of individual support. The classes are single-sex so faculty can teach directly to how boys learn—in a supportive, tight-knit environment where everyone is welcome and no one falls through the cracks.

Research shows that girls thrive in single-sex classrooms where they have the freedom to express themselves and take on challenges.

The middle school years are particularly important in developing the habits of mind and inner strength that will last a lifetime.

At AAG, students learn in small classes with the individualized instruction they need. It’s a friendly, inclusive environment where everyone fits in and it’s actually “cool to be smart.”

Make Middle School memorable—for all the right reasons.

Middle School can be a tough transition. At the Academies, students learn in small, single-sex classes where our faculty takes a research-based approach to the different ways that girls and boys learn. In grades 5-8 students meet with their advisor every single day to talk about academics, peer relationships—or maybe just to share the latest joke going around school. They become part of a supportive, learning family.

School becomes a place they actually look forward to each day.

At the Academies, we educate the whole student.

We believe small classes, a robust arts and athletics program, and individual attention are especially important for middle schoolers who need more than academics— they need the opportunities to develop a fearless self-confidence that will be the foundation of the rest of their lives.
