Dear Concord Academy Community,

The campus is quiet. Looking across a sun-filled quad at a scene that would normally be filled with students and teachers, I see instead signs of spring — daffodils and crocuses — reaching for the sun. 

Beneath the quiet, there is a thrum of online activity. People are joining virtual meetings to reimagine classes and chapels. Parents are connecting, and supporting not only their children but others as well. Our alumnae/i have been reaching out with words, with offers, and with thoughts. Our entire extended community has stepped up in truly remarkable, inspiring ways.

It is at these times that I am reminded of how caring is core to the foundation of this school — and of how truly inspiring our community is.

I took a moment to reflect on this, and I wanted to share that video with you now:

Please know this: During these uncertain times, we are here for you. If you are in need, please let us know how we can help. 

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Take care. 

Sincerely,

Rick Hardy
Head of School
Dresden Endowed Chair
