Extended-Day Programs

Extended-day programs exist at all of City School District of Albany's elementary and middle schools. Albany High School also offers an array of clubs and activities beyond the normal school day. These programs not only offer working parents an opportunity for child care, but they also provide students with extended learning and enrichment activities that contribute to a well-rounded educational experience.

The elementary and middle school programs typically start at dismissal time and end around 5:30 p.m. They include homework time and academic assistance, enrichment clubs, outdoor play (weather permitting), games and arts and crafts. Character development also is a focus in all of our extended-day programs.

The district finances these programs with the help of extended-day grants, partnerships and community collaborations including:

• Albany City Council PTA

• Albany Community Afterschool Network (ACAN)

• Capital District YMCA

• Capital Region Sponsor-A-Scholar, Inc.

• City of Albany Department of Youth and Family Services

• City of Albany

• Family & Children Services of the Capital Region

• Liberty Partnerships Rising Stars Program

• Macedonia Baptist Church

• NAACP – Student Theater Outreach Program

• Police Athletic League
