On September 13, Concord Academy students gathered in the Performing Arts Center to meet the people responsible for the abundance of delicious and nutritious food on campus. Students learned more about the healthy options the dining hall provides for the entire community, including individuals with special dietary needs. The dining services leadership team also shared their commitment to setting environmentally responsible goals for CA’s dining hall and supporting the school’s progress toward sustainability targets.

The first day of the 2023-24 school year began with a heartfelt Convocation ceremony in the Elizabeth B. Hall Chapel.

The Concord Academy Centennial Campaign is our great opportunity to celebrate CA’s role in shaping the lives of young people. Across generations, our graduates demonstrate over and over that those who live and learn at CA develop into forces for good, magnifying this school’s impact in the world. We must continue to serve and encourage all of our students, and to see them for who they are and who they can become. This is our charge and our joyful responsibility.
