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.

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.

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.

Responsibilities include month-end closing, financial statement preparation, and billing for a small, urban, charter school. Operations responsibilities include asset tagging, technology maintenance, and facility maintenance. Position includes a generous leave policy.
