Welcome to the
Capital District Creative
Learning Center

Creative learning teachers specializing in art, STEAM, language, creative writing, and academic support.

Why the Capital District Creative Learning Center is Albany's #1 choice for creative classes

The Capital District Creative Learning Center was created to help bridge the gap for students who are online or on Zoom all day to have opportunities to interact with other people in person. A new and locally owned business, the CDCLC offers a mix of in-person classes and one-on-one tutoring on everything from art to school subjects, programming, music, and so much more! Several of our students travel from all over the Albany area including Guilderland, Voorheesville, Altamont, Albany, Rotterdam, Colonie, Capital District, and Schenectady.
