In the Helderberg Mountains west of Albany, Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District connects its rural setting with agricultural learning. Its elementary campus has an outdoor reading space with benches and a Little Free Library stocked with agriculture-themed children's books. Secondary students helped create the space through floral design, landscaping, and agricultural activities. The FFA agricultural leadership group also links the age groups through Agricultural Literacy Week, when older students read and lead activities with elementary classes.
The district operates an elementary school serving prekindergarten through sixth grade and a secondary school for grades seven through twelve. Its published secondary curriculum includes animal science, floral design, landscape design, and pre-veterinary science, alongside academic and arts subjects. Course availability varies by year and student demand. For older students seeking occupational training, Capital Region BOCES provides career and technical education opportunities.
