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

🎉 Happy Juneteenth from Henry Johnson Charter School! 🖤💚❤️
Today, we celebrate Juneteenth — a special day in American history that reminds us how important freedom, fairness, and kindness are for everyone.
On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free — more than two years after slavery had officially ended. Juneteenth is a time to honor courage, hope, and the power of community.
At HJCS, we are proud to teach our students about respect, inclusion, and the importance of standing up for what’s right — every day.
Let’s keep learning, growing, and celebrating freedom together! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less
