ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — For generations, Academy of the Holy Names has provided young women with a rigorous academic foundation while fostering leadership, confidence, and personal growth.
Located on New Scotland Road in Albany, the school is the Capital Region’s only private, independent, college preparatory school for girls in grades 6 through 12. Through a combination of challenging coursework, extracurricular opportunities, and a supportive learning environment, Academy of the Holy Names empowers students to pursue their goals both in the classroom and beyond.
The school’s mission focuses on developing the whole student, encouraging academic excellence, service, leadership, and character development. Students benefit from small class sizes, individualized attention, and opportunities to explore their interests while preparing for college and future careers.
Families interested in learning more about the school will have an opportunity to do so during the Academy of the Holy Names Open House on Sunday, November 8, where prospective students and their families can meet faculty, explore campus, and learn more about the educational experience offered at the school.
Today on Upstate Living, Kendra Astemborski, Director of Enrollment and Admissions, and Isabella Lodise, an 11th-grade student, joined us to share what makes Academy of the Holy Names such a unique educational community.
