Interviews, Tours, and Events 

We are offering a number of ways to connect with Concord Academy this year. We look forward to getting to know you and encourage you to reach out with any questions.

 

Applicant Interviews & Tours

We want to get to know you better throughout the application process, so we offer applicants the option to have an interview on campus or via Zoom. Applicants who are not able to schedule an interview are encouraged to submit a personal video statement.

Interviews are an optional part of the application process at CA; they are not required. We welcome applications from students who do not have the opportunity to interview with us. 

Interview appointments are filling quickly and will likely exceed our capacity.  Please complete this form if you would like to request an interview. Completing this form puts you on a waitlist for an interview.  Please note that completing this form does not confirm or guarantee an interview.  

Applicants who are not able to schedule an interview may consider submitting a Personal Video Statement.

Similar to interviews, the optional personal video statement gives you an opportunity to tell us more about yourself beyond the information you provided in your application. While the personal video statement is not required, if you are unable to schedule an interview the video is a great option.

Your video introduction should be a simple statement of your interests and aspirations rather than an extensively rehearsed or edited video, and its length should not exceed three minutes. It is perfectly acceptable to send us a link to a “selfie-style” video recorded on your phone! Here are some questions we frequently ask during interviews that you may want to address in your video:

  1. Why would you like to attend an independent school? What qualities are important in your next school/high school? 
  2. What are you like as a student?  
  3. What are your extracurricular and summer commitments?
  4. What do you do for fun?
  5. What are you curious about?
  6. What do you wish more people knew about you?
  7. Anything else you want to share? 

You may use any preferred video platform but please make sure the link is publicly viewable. The submission deadline for a video introduction is January 15.

If you don’t want to submit a video, that’s OK. Applicants will not be penalized for opting out of submitting a video. It is truly an optional video.

COVID-19 Policy for Visitors

Health and safety are our top priority. We ask that visitors to campus be fully vaccinated and boosted. Unvaccinated guests and those completing COVID-19 protocols as a close contact or leaving isolation are asked to wear a mask while indoors. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, please reschedule your tour.
