Robert C Parker School
Robert C Parker School is a coed independent school for Pre K through 8th grade, 10 minutes from downtown Albany. Parker’s progressive philosophy nurtures curiosity, confidence, and community.
Attitudes about learning are established when students are young. By giving students opportunities to take action as they learn about their world, we help them grow into adults that will take responsibility for themselves and others in their communities. Parker students receive individualized attention from caring adults who engage with them through projects and facilitate connections with peers. Graduates leave Parker uniquely prepared to take on the challenges of high school and beyond.
Doane Stuart School
Doane Stuart School is the Capital Region’s premier co-educational preparatory school for Preschool through Grade 12 and is proudly celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Doane Stuart’s acclaimed Pre-K program nurtures a love of learning during these formative years, helping children build confidence, develop strong social skills, and prepare for a smooth transition to kindergarten. With small class sizes and individualized attention, students thrive academically — many begin reading and develop elementary-level math skills.
Families are often amazed by the depth of learning, from hands-on science and early literacy to collaborative projects and presentations. Most importantly, children gain enthusiasm for school and confidence in themselves.
