Concord Academy (also known as CA) is a coeducational, independent college-preparatory school for boarding and day students in Concord, Massachusetts. CA educates approximately 400 students in grades 9–12. Unusual for a boarding school, a majority of CA students are day students.
Founded in 1922 as an all-girls institution, CA transitioned to a coeducation model in 1971. It has educated several Pulitzer Prize winners, notable authors, artists, and scholars, including the first female president of Harvard University, Drew Gilpin Faust.
Known for its innovative academic approach, CA offers over 200 courses and awards no student prizes. Students refer to faculty and staff by their first names. As of the 2024-25 school year, 27% of CA students receive financial aid.
