Concord Academy Turns 100
A Centennial Celebration for AllMarking this momentous occasion, Concord Academy has planned a series of Centennial events that began in April 2022. Festivities will continue throughout the 2022–23 academic year.
Throughout CA’s Centennial celebrations, we will illuminate our history, honor our mission, and celebrate the values and traditions that have animated our school for 100 years.
We hope these experiences will bring together members of our community from every era, and that alongside CA’s students, alumnae/i, parents, faculty, staff, and friends, you will engage in ways that bring you meaning and joy.
