Concord Academy is a coeducational, independent, college preparatory school for grades nine through twelve, located in Concord, Massachusetts. The school enrolls 378 boarding and day students as of 2013-2014[update].
In 1971, Concord Academy became the first all-girls' boarding school in New England to shift to a coeducational model.
Concord Academy ranks in the top 15 of U.S. boarding schools for student SAT scores, and SSAT scores. To foster love of learning and a non-competitive 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 several years ago due to the 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.
The demographic breakdown of the 378 students registered for the 2013-2014 school year was:
Concord Academy students play on twenty-eight teams in twenty-three sports; about 75 percent of students play on at least one team each year. Teams compete in the Eastern Independent League (EIL).
The dress code at Concord Academy is casual. The student body consists of 40% boarding students and 60% day students. Boarding students live in three girls houses and three boys houses, each holding an average of 25 students. A little more than a third of the day students commute to school via the MBTA Commuter Rail.
Students participate in a variety of clubs, performing arts groups, and other activities. The campus is a short walk from restaurants and shops in Concord and students have easy access to Cambridge and Boston via the MBTA Commuter Rail.
Concord Academy's primary campus is located on 39 acres (160,000 m2) between Main Street and the Sudbury River in the center of Concord, Massachusetts. Concord Academy’s campus includes eleven historic houses on Main Street, all built as family homes between 1780 and 1830. The campus is a three-minute walk from the center of Concord and a five-minute walk from the MBTA Commuter Rail stop in Concord.
