We Believe Scholars Can Achieve Academic Excellence While Developing Exceptional Character.
We embrace an educational philosophy of love and hard work coupled with a rigorous curriculum grounded in basic skills, outstanding literature, and moral virtues. HJCS provides a nurturing environment of high expectations and accountability that equips all scholars with the choice to determine their success in life.
Our Mission
The Mission of Henry Johnson Charter School is to ensure that all scholars reach the highest levels of scholastic achievement in an environment that instills character, virtue, and “habits of mind” that ensure success both within and outside the classroom: diligence, courage, respect, self-reliance, duty, and responsibility.

We serve families in Albany and Surrounding districts since 2007.
We do more than graduate students. We have happy graduates on their way to higher levels of success.
We don’t just teach, we laugh & play harder.
We all work diligently in the spirit of excellence, like our namesake Sergeant Henry Johnson
