About Doane Stuart School – Doane Stuart was established in 1975, as a coeducational college preparatory school, with the merger of two Albany schools—Kenwood Academy, founded in 1852, and St. Agnes School, founded in 1870—that were rooted in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal traditions. The resulting organization is a place where students of all faiths grow and learn together. The school celebrates and students learn about all the world’s major religions. The community is based on inclusion and respect. It is a place to grow your mind and build your heart. As a co-educational interfaith school, we welcome students of all backgrounds and traditions. We celebrate diversity, and we provide a nurturing yet challenging environment that prepares students for today’s global community.
