All Day
Welcome to Concord Academy
Concord Academy is different. We’re an independent boarding and day school for students of all genders. Our community knows and honors each individual. Our faculty teach what they love. Our students challenge their understanding of themselves and the world. Together, we’re building a more just and sustainable future.

Our Curriculum
Concord Academy develops intrinsic motivation and fosters self-advocacy. You’ll be able to design your own learning experiences and play an active role in shaping your community. Your voice will be heard.
For a school this personal, the faculty-designed electives in our curriculum are unrivaled. Your academic experience won’t be quite like anyone else’s. Ready to try something new? Go broad. Find a passion? Go deep.
Your perspective, culture, and life experiences matter. Honoring every individual in our diverse community means seeing and respecting the whole you—mentally and physically, socially and emotionally, artistically and academically.

CA is intentionally small and relational. We don’t have a class ranking system or give academic awards. You’ll be well-prepared for college, but our focus isn’t on measuring you against others. It’s on developing your potential.
Weekly one-on-one advising provides structure to help you expand your comfort zone and make sure you’re successful. You’ll notice the difference it makes to get consistent support from an adult who knows you well.
Creativity is CA’s core. It’s part of what sets us apart. Here, everyone studies the arts as part of our curriculum, with plenty of opportunities to do more. Athletes don’t have to choose, either. From competitive team sports to dance, we offer options to suit every interest. And living and learning go hand in hand—our residential life program benefits both boarding students and day students who enjoy an active campus in the evenings. It’s all part of the CA experience.
Student Spotlight
“Throughout a single day, I am able to experience seven hours of fruitful learning, sing my heart out in chorus, explore our delightful campus through a camera lens, enhance my softball capabilities, and conclude the day with a productive study hall session.”
“The thought of being away from my family for a long period of time scared me, but I do not regret anything. CA has truly brought me so many opportunities that I wouldn’t have gotten from a high school in my hometown.”
“One of the things that makes CA so unique is that it’s a culmination of so many different people, cultures, and experiences.”
“Common trust is the mutual respect and support that is woven into the fabric of our community. It is not only acceptance but also an invitation to be vulnerable in every endeavor at CA.”
“My favorite boarding tradition will always be weekly house food on Saturdays. It’s fun to see the house come together and bond over meals made by the house faculty on duty. These Saturday nights are always filled with laughter, bonding, and storytelling.”
