Over the past few years since the addition of the Albany Community and Troy Prep Schools, KIPP has grown from two to seven schools serving students across the Capital Region. To better support the growing KIPP community, CSArch led a planning study in January 2021 to develop options for a new high school. After a survey to parents in the spring of 2023 revealed an overwhelmingly positive response to the possibility of a space for all “KIPPsters” in grades 9-12, the goal to create KIPP Capital High School became an exciting reality. 

Since March 2023, CSArch has led the charge for the design and construction of the brand-new high school building on the site adjacent to the existing KIPP Tech Valley Primary and Middle School. With capacity for up to 800 students, the three-floor, 95,980 SF building will include general classrooms, art and music classrooms, science labs, computer, media and innovation labs, a large gymnasium and fitness center, student support suite, and administrative offices. To maximize flexibility and adaptability, the cafeteria and learning stair will serve as the community-centering focal point of the building, providing support for large or small gatherings, presentations, and school performances.

Upon completion in July 2025, the new high school will offer a safe, engaging, and innovative educational experience for all KIPPsters.

We will be touring a building currently under construction. Please be sure wear appropriate attire and provide your own hard hat.

It is next door to the current KIPP Tech Valley Middle School at 400 Northern Boulevard Albany, NY 12210. There is parking in the rear of the building.
