Concord Academy

[EduCativ]

Concord Academy, an independent, coeducational boarding and day school renowned for world-class faculty, passionate students, and graduates who make their mark on the world. Founded in 1922, Concord Academy has long balanced high academic standards, focusing on educating the whole student through the arts, athletics, and engagement in the world. Our community thrives on a love of learning, thanks to teachers' care and partnership who support our students as individuals and challenge them every day to think critically and creatively.
Innovative teaching drives our wide-as-you-can-dream curriculum. Our rigorous approach to the sciences, arts, and humanities is infused with intellectual growth, experimentation, and hands-on learning opportunities. CA students are honest, dedicated, and self-driven — some of the brightest, most curious, and inventive young people you are likely to encounter. Within a structured framework, our experienced teachers afford them the flexibility to learn as they do best — while achieving personal goals, whether building a robot or directing a mainstage performance. Creative problem-solving and creative expression are at the core of the CA experience.
Our 39-acre campus on Main Street in Concord, Mass., is home to nearly 400 students in grades 9 through 12 from nearby towns and around the globe. We bring students out into the world and the world to our campus. In our close-knit community, we prize collaboration over competition. Uncommon levels of trust shape our daily interactions. At CA, we do more than embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds. We foster independent thinking. We invite passionate dialogue and debate. We believe that living attentively, questioning assumptions, and speaking one's truth are essential elements of an engaged and active learning experience.
When our students graduate, they are prepared not only for college but also for lives of service and impact. Our alumnae/I are authors and ambassadors, entrepreneurs and engineers, dancers, and doctors. This is a place where students love to learn, where creativity and trust are abundant natural resources, and where New England's history and literature enrich us every day.
Concord Academy engages its students in a community animated by a love of learning, enriched by a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives, and guided by a typical trust covenant. Students and teachers work together as a community of learners dedicated to intellectual rigor and creative endeavor. Students discover and develop talents as scholars, artists, and athletes in a caring and challenging atmosphere and are encouraged to find their voices.
The school is committed to embracing and broadening the diversity of its people's backgrounds, perspectives, and talents. This diversity fosters respect for others and a genuine exchange of ideas. Typical trust challenges students to balance individual freedom with responsibility and service to a broader community. Such learning prepares students for lives as committed citizens.
