History

The Albany Academy is the oldest boys' day school in the New York Capital Region, chartered in March 1813 to educate the sons of Albany's political elite and rapidly growing merchant class. In the Census three years prior, Albany was the tenth-largest city in the United States, and would remain so through the 1850s due to the prominence of the Erie Canal. The Capital District is an imprecise regional definition (much like Upstate New York) that generally refers to the four counties surrounding Albany, the capital of New York: Schenectady County, Albany County, Saratoga County and Rensselaer County. ... This entry tracks and ranks the population of the largest cities in the United States by decade, starting with the 1790 Census. ... The Erie Canal (currently part of the New York State Canal System) is a canal in New York State, United States, that runs from the Hudson River to Lake Erie, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. ...

Classes began within months after the charter was granted, offering a college preparatory track (including intensive study of Ancient Greek and Latin) and an arithmetic-based track to prepare young men for Albany's role as a center of commerce. Two years later, in 1815, a purpose-built building was completed in present day Academy Park, adjacent to the New York State Capitol. The Federal-style building, now known as the Old Academy and headquarters of the City School District of Albany, was designed by renowned Albany architect Philip Hooker. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance and role as home to scientist Joseph Henry's laboratory.

In 1870, in response to a lack of military preparation institutions in the north during the American Civil War, the Albany Academy adopted the Battalion Leadership Program, instructing the "cadets" in military procedure and the art of leadership. In 2005 the school ended compulsory involvement in the program in favor of a House-based leadership program commonly found in English preparatory schools.

In 1931, the school moved from its original downtown building in present day Academy Park to its current location on the corner of Hackett and Academy Roads, in the University Heights section of Albany. Designed by Marcus T. Reynolds in the neo-Georgian style, the building incorporates many elements of the Old Academy building, namely the main entryway and cupola. The school stands approximately two miles from the city center, allowing students access to the resources of the State University of New York at Albany, Russell Sage College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the state capitol, and the state museum and library. The red-brick Academy building's marble corner stone was laid by the then Governor and future President Franklin D. Roosevelt. All grades enrolled in the Albany Academy are housed under the same roof, a point of pride for the Academy Community. Though the Academy is primarily a day school, the school opened a 16-student dormitory in 2003 and offers a residential boarding program to students from beyond the Capital Region. The Van Rensselaer Dormitory is named for the School's first Chairman of the Board of Trustees and one of the richest Patroons in North America, Stephen Van Rensselaer III. In 2004 there were 340 students, of whom 187 were in the Upper School. Image File history File links Summary The Albany Academy in Albany, NY.

The new institution would occupy The Academies' campus on Academy Road, continue single-gender education (a change for Doane Stuart students), and be led by current Doane Stuart Head of School Richard Enemark (Caroline Mason, the current head of both Academies, previously announced her intention of stepping down after the 2006-2007 school year). After parent protest, Doane Stuart withdrew from the proposed merger in September 2006, announcing its decision to remain a separate institution. The Board of Trustees announced the two Academies will merge to form The Albany Academies by the 2007-2008 academic year under a unified administration and interim Head of Schools.
