HENRY JOHNSON CHARTER SCHOOL
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

Extra, extra, read all about it!!!
Earlier this school year in art class HJCS scholars in 3rd and 4th grade learned about the process of writing and illustrating comic books. Each 3rd and 4th grade class selected a classic fairy tale, then rewrote it, redesigned the characters, and illustrated the story in comic book form.
These books were professionally published and are currently in the process of being distributed to bookstores like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, etc. as well as local libraries. Look for those titles online soon!
We were also invited to present our new books at the Albany Comic Con this past weekend and many of our scholar-artists were able to display, talk about, and promote their artwork and comic books at a real comic book convention! The scholars had a great time at Albany Comic-Con and got to feel what it's like to be published comic book authors. ... See MoreSee Less

Our kindergarten scientists had the sweetest experience watching tiny caterpillars grow, change, and transform into beautiful butterflies! 🐛🦋 Today we released them, and some even stayed long enough to let us gently hold them before flying away. Such a magical way to learn about life cycles, patience, and nature! 💛 ... See MoreSee Less
