Doane Stuart students know the joy of discovery, the importance of inquiry, and the power of understanding

Doane Stuart teachers provide a great deal of differentiated learning. Our faculty choose to teach at Doane Stuart because of the small classes and close-knit community. In addition, they coach athletic teams, oversee student-run clubs AND even offer Saturday activities. We boast the finest teaching in the region.

Doane Stuart was established in 1975, 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 at which students of all faiths grow and learn together. The school’s emphasis is interfaith; most faiths are celebrated, and students learn about all the world’s major religions. Students are asked to consider why so many people in the world choose a life of faith; they are urged to study many religions while also exploring and developing their own beliefs and values. The community is based on tolerance 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.

We are more than a school. We are a family of families -partners in the critical work of preparing students for lives of meaning and purpose.
