Applicants from Abroad

Honoring diverse perspectives

Concord Academy’s academic approach and student life program honor the diverse perspectives and lived experiences of international students, who make up more than 13% of the CA study body. For students from abroad, residential life at CA offers the benefits of living in a safe, beautiful town near a major U.S. city, making friends from around the world, and receiving support from house faculty who know every student personally and understand what it’s like to live and study far from home.

Applicants from Abroad

If your family’s primary residence is outside the United States and/or you attend school outside the United States, please note the instructions on this page regarding your admissions interview and required standardized testing.

English Proficiency Testing

Students for whom English is not a first language should submit an official score report for the Test of English as a Foreign Language exam (TOEFL IBT or ITS), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Duolingo.

If the applicant’s primary language is English or if the applicant has attended an English-speaking school within the United States for the past three years, please email admissions@concordacademy.org to request a waiver of this requirement.

Interviews

All applicants whose primary residence is outside of the U.S. and/or who attend school outside of the U.S. are required to schedule their interview through Vericant

The Admissions Office will contact families directly if, after review of the Vericant interview, the applicant is invited to interview with a member of the Concord Academy interview team. For other applicants, the Vericant interview will serve as the interview. To receive our response, students must complete our inquiry form prior to having Vericant send us their report. Vericant interviews must be completed and submitted by January 1 in order to be considered for a CA interview.
