About the School

The Arts Academy at St. Mary’s was founded in 2023 in an attempt to provide opportunities for arts education to students both at St. Mary’s Academy, and in the surrounding region. Classes are offered in music, theater, and dance, between the hours of 2:30 PM and 8 PM Monday-Friday.

Our Spaces

The Great Hall

The Great Hall at St. Mary’s Academy is our central hub for performance. A yearly home for concerts, events, performances, and school functions, The Great Hall has earned a reputation in Glens Falls for its architecture (a replica of Westminister Hall in London), its sound and beauty - a perfect space to perform, explore, learn and create.

Merrill Recording Studio

Collaboration is center to all programs at the Arts Academy. We are a home to dancers who want to work with composers, songwriters who want to work with actors, and directors who want to work with performers across discipline. While our education is rooted in developing technique and skills, we aim to push students to grow in their collaboration with other students, both within departments, and across artistic practices.
