The Kenwood Academy was a boarding school for girls maintained by the Religious of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the outskirts of Albany, New York. It was founded in 1852 by Mother Aloysia Hardey, offered the equivalent of grammar and high school courses and one year of college, and included a convent of the Sacred Heart on campus for the teachers. The convent is the center of the Eastern Vicariate and the novitiate-house of the United States. The school has since merged with the nearby Episcopal Saint Agnes School to found the multi-faith Doane Stuart School.
