Building Bright Futures Since 1945

Located just outside Albany in the heart of Tech Valley, the South Colonie Central School District has been proudly serving students and families since 1945. Today, we educate approximately 4,800 students and serve a community of more than 80,000 residents across 60 square miles.

As one of the Capital Region's largest school districts, we are committed to providing a high-quality education while being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars. Our focus is on creating opportunities that help every student learn, grow and succeed.

Learning at South Colonie extends beyond the classroom. Students are challenged through strong academics, arts, athletics, career pathways, extracurricular activities and personalized support that meets their individual needs. We believe every student deserves the opportunity to discover their strengths, build confidence and prepare for whatever path they choose after graduation.
