A Place to Learn. A Space to Grow.

The Doane Stuart School is located on a stunning 27-acre campus in Rensselaer, NY, with sweeping views of the Hudson River and Albany skyline. Just minutes from downtown Albany and easily accessible from surrounding counties, our campus offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, sustainability, and accessibility.
