New high school opening in Albany

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – A new charter school will open in the city of Albany for the 2025-2026 school year. We talked to a student and parent about the highly anticipated opening of the school.

KIPP Capital High School is still under construction on Northern Boulevard. It will be open come August, but open enrollment is already underway.

Video renderings of the new school show the cafeteria flooded with natural light, a variety of classrooms with features that will enrich learning experiences and a massive auditorium that can fit more than 300 people.

KIPP Albany Community Charter School Principal Brandi Langhorn explains how the new school will impact students.

“This experience is perfect because now we are actually able to keep our KIPP community together. Typically they would have to branch off into different high schools after the 8th grade experience, but now each one of our schools are able to remain with their same friends that they developed lifelong relationships with,” said Langhorn.
