Concord Academy

Concord Academy (also known as CA), established in 1922, is a coeducational, independent college preparatory school for boarding and day students in grades 9-12. The school is situated in Concord, Massachusetts. The school enrolled 395 boarding and day students as of 2022. Academics Concord Academy follows a semester program, where most courses are term-based or year-long. The school's curriculum comprises more than 230 courses in eight academic disciplines, and a co-curricular athletics program. To foster a noncompetitive environment, the school does not compute class rank and awards no academic, arts, athletic, or community awards during the school year or at graduation. The school eliminated all AP courses in the early 2000s due to the purported lack of depth in their curricula. They were replaced by advanced courses designed by teachers, though the school still offers AP exams. Eighty percent of the students taking an AP exam score a 4 or 5. Demographics The demographic breakdown of the 395 students registered for the 2013–14 school year was: Asian – 23.3% Black – 2.6% Hispanic – 5.0% White – 61.7% Multiracial – 7.4%
