Join us for the Hudson Valley Learning Exchange Visits, where districts across the region will come together to learn from each other's programs and approaches. Each visit focuses on a specific topic, offering opportunities for both visiting and hosting districts to share ideas, ask questions, and exchange valuable feedback. These visits are designed to foster collaboration and inspire new insights that can enhance programs across the Hudson Valley.
The Newcomer Program at Albany International School supports students new to the United States as they adjust to a new language and culture. This transitional program provides English language instruction alongside core subjects such as math, science, social studies, and English language arts, while also offering electives and physical education. High school students earn credits toward graduation, and all courses align with state standards. Students benefit from bilingual social work services, a multilingual home-school coordinator, and teachers certified in English as a New Language or general education. With academic, emotional, and cultural support, students typically spend one to two years in the program before returning to their assigned school ready to thrive.
