Sheridan Preparatory Academy
 The
newly built Sheridan
Preparatory Academy opened its doors in September 2004 and serves
children from prekindergarten to fifth grade. Sheridan Prep’s
construction was one of the first projects in the City School
District of Albany’s comprehensive facilities plan to create
smaller, more personal learning spaces where students have the
technology to succeed. Graduating students attend Stephen and
Harriet Myers Middle School beginning in sixth grade.

 What
makes our school special?
Sheridan Preparatory Academy is a small
urban school that used to be a part of Phillip Schuyler Elementary
School. We opened the doors to our brand new school on September 8,
2004. We are proud to be a full-service neighborhood school. We work in
conjunction with Parsons Child and Family Center to provide counseling
and resources for our students and their families. We house a
school-based health center in conjunction with Whitney M. Young Jr.
Health Services, where students can receive a range of services from a
nurse practitioner or physician. Besides meeting the social and health
needs of our students, we are a school that creates a safe and nurturing
environment and promotes high expectations for all of our students. We
encourage our students to do their best in everything by offering awards
for effort, conduct, attendance and honor roll.

Our teachers have received more than $5,000

members have 10 or more years of teaching experience.
