About North Albany Academy
 On
September 6, 2005, the City
School District of Albany
hosted a ribbon cutting and
public tour of the renamed
and reinvigorated North
Albany Academy. Hundreds of
North Albany neighbors,
students and families
attended the celebration.
North Albany
Academy is the district's
first and only school for
students in grades pre-K
through Grade 8. The academy
focuses on the fundamentals
of education with enrichment
activities to support
academics. Students have
access to a computer lab and
media center, and through an
innovative partnership with
the North Albany YMCA,
access to a pool, gym,
running track and a branch
of the Albany Public
Library.
We are proud to be
able to provide a range of
programs and services to
take care of our children's
academic needs as well as
provide health and wellness
services on-site. These
services include
mobile dental health
services through our
partnership with the St.
Peter's Hospital and Ronald
McDonald House.
North Albany
Academy faculty and staff
provide a safe and welcoming
environment for children and
have high expectations for
good behavior and academic
success. In 2002 and 2003,
the school was recognized as
one of the most improved
schools in New York State,
based on test scores in
English Language Arts and
math.
