Albany Preparatory Charter School Mission 

Albany Preparatory Charter School will provide Albany's middle school students a quality alternative to the district's middle schools and an education that enables them to be successfully admitted to high schools of choice, gives them necessary academic foundation to graduate high school with honors, and allows them to fully participate in our nation's democracy and the global community

Three goals form the core of Albany Prep's mission: 

1. Achieve academic excellence: Albany Prep will accelerate the learning and academic skills of students so that they will achieve mastery of the skills necessary for success in high school, college, and life - especially reading, writing, math, and critical thinking.

2. Become active, valued citizens: Albany Prep will develop students who take responsibility for themselves, their school, their community, their country, and their role in the global community by learning to think critically about issues that affect them and by making participation in society while at school a regular activity.

3. Effectively apply knowledge: Albany Prep will develop students that are able to apply what they have learned creatively in a range of circumstances and new situations, drawing insightful conclusions and offering unique perspectives on problems.
