Saint Gregory's School

Saint Gregory’s is a Catholic, independent primary school located in the Capital District of NY in the town of Loudonville. We have small classes and give individual attention to students as they pursue challenging academic studies. As an independent school, our policies are set by a Board of Trustees made up of parents, alumni and community leaders. Saint Gregory’s School respects the uniqueness of each student and embraces the diversity that each one brings to us. We welcome students of all faiths.

 
Founded in 1962, Saint Gregory’s School is located on 22 acres in Loudonville, a suburb of Albany, New York and serves students from many surrounding communities. The school's fundamental principles are: Academic Excellence, Christian Principles and Leadership Skills. Small class sizes, individual attention and advanced courses are offered. Saint Gregory’s accepts boys and girls aged 3 to 6 in its Nursery through Kindergarten program, and all boys in grades 1 through 8. Saint Gregory’s offers full day Kindergarten and full day options for Nursery (3 year olds) and Pre-K (4 year olds). Before and after school care is available.
 

Parents are encouraged to participate in their child’s elementary education through extended at-home activities, support of good work habits and study skills, and frequent contact with teachers. The dedicated faculty of Saint Gregory’s School consists of highly-trained educators who stay informed of current trends in their ever-changing fields. Our faculty continually updates and integrates materials, methods and themes to fit the needs of their students.

Saint Gregory’s students come from 16 different school districts including: Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Clifton Park, Shenendehowa, Guilderland, Bethlehem, Delmar, Slingerlands, North Colonie, South Colonie, and Averill Park.

Saint Gregory’s boys participate in athletic competitions in Soccer, Cross Country Running, Basketball, Skiing, Golf, Lacrosse, and Track and Field. Our athletic programs are carefully designed to give our boys not just the exercise they crave, but lessons in focused effort, selflessness, grace in victory or in defeat, and enjoyment of the rewards that come from striving for shared success with one’s peers.

A rigorous education also means encouraging self-expression through art, music, theatre and literature. We believe it is this balance between achievement and expression where independent thinking is born.
Saint Gregory’s is a school of welcome exploration of life’s possibilities – but also one with a strict Honor Code. We give our boys broad exposure to technology as an educational tool without losing sight of the timeless principle of personal connections. We offer accelerated study on an individual basis and continue to instill in our students a deep sense of shared purpose and abiding fellowship.
