Vision
Albany Leadership Charter High School for Girls will be a recognized leader in single-sex secondary
education for young women. It will foster a community of scholars dedicated to life-long learning and
committed to improving their communities through their pursuit of post-secondary endeavors.

Commitment to Excellence
ALH is a family with the highest of expectations for our daughters, particularly in regards to academic
achievement. Our goal is to position our girls so that their senior year can be focused on successfully
transitioning to their post-secondary pursuits. If we set the standard, our daughters will rise to the
challenge. We emphasize the importance of leadership through scholarship and service. “One leader
changes everything” is not just a slogan students hear; it is a belief they are taught to manifest.

All Girls
There are three major advantages for girls who are educated in a single gender school, include:
expanded educational opportunity, custom-tailored learning and instruction, and greater autonomy of
thought and expression. Single gender schools help to foster an environment where their students
think for themselves and take control of their own lives. By eliminating false gender stereotypes, all
female schools can liberate and empower their girls to explore various subjects and pursue excellence
in all disciplines. It is for these reasons that ALH believes that the opportunity to experience a
single-gender education, should be one that is offered freely to any and all girls who would choose it.
