About Livingston Magnet Academy
Philip Livingston Magnet Academy, which includes grades 7 and 8 (and sections of Grade 6), is the City School District of Albany's only middle-level magnet program. For more information about the magnet program and the application process, please contact the Magnet Schools Office at 475-6070.

The architecturally significant school is home to excellent athletic facilities, three computer labs, a beautiful library, a dance studio, a drama studio and an auditorium that seats 1,100. The auditorium was once used by the Albany Symphony as its practice hall.

At 82 acres, Tivoli Lakes Park, New York State's second-largest urban wildlife preserve, is located directly behind the school, giving students access to a natural environmental laboratory. Click here to visit the Philip Livingston Magnet Academy Web site.
