Welcome, Alums!

For over a century, Concord Academy alums have been bound together by a love of learning, service to others, and a proud legacy of advocacy. With close to 6,000 CA graduates living around the globe, we are a small but mighty community and our connections to CA and each other span both distance and time.

As someone who attended CA, you are automatically a member of the Concord Academy Alumnae/i Association, a group that serves as a primary link to fellow alums as well as current students and school developments. We strive to ensure CA remains present and relevant in all stages of your life.

The CA Alumnae/i Association mission statement reflects our goals and purpose:

The Alumnae/i Association fosters lifelong connections between Concord Academy and its alumnae/i community. The Association facilitates meaningful opportunities to preserve and promote a love of learning, service to others, and a commitment to diverse perspectives and backgrounds. Through involvement in the life of the school, within the community, and through service to the greater world, the Association strives to renew and affirm the core values instilled while at CA.

Our days in Concord were unique, and I invite you to remain involved or re-engage in the life of the school —sharing your professional experiences with CA students, attending regional events for alums, serving on your reunion committee, and supporting the school’s Annual Fund are just a few of the many opportunities open to you.

Please also be sure to read our emailed community newsletter, send in class notes for the CA Magazine, update your contact information, and stay up to date on all things CA via Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and CA’s Centennial celebrations. We look forward to collaborating with you to bring the Alumnae/i Association mission alive in innovative, creative and exciting ways.

Join me in celebrating your CA experience as we venture into the school’s next century!
