A St. Albans Education

Academics that Challenge Every Boy

St. Albans challenges every boy—from the youngest C Former our Form VI seniors—to achieve excellence by combining rigorous classes with a strong support structure. St. Albans encourages its students to pursue their special academic talents in the hope that knowledge, diligently sought and acquired, will lead to wisdom that will serve both the individual and others.

The relationship between a boy and his teachers is the fundamental building block of a St. Albans education. Small classes, active teaching styles, and a level of trust give each student the freedom to step out of his comfort zone so that he may learn and grow.

For more than a century, St. Albans has offered a distinctive educational experience for young men in grades 4 through 12.
