Concord Academy’s Reunion Celebration
June 10–12, 2022
The Alumnae/i Association is pleased to announce Concord Academy’s 2022 Reunion Weekend. This year we are celebrating the 2’s and 7’s and we also look forward to welcoming back the classes of 1970 and 1971 for their belated in-person 50th reunion celebrations. As always, all alumnae/i are welcome to attend Reunion Weekend festivities.
As of now, we are planning to gather in person for Reunion Weekend. We will continue to follow state and local guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety. Please check our reunion COVID-19 protocols in late spring for any updates to CA’s COVID-19 policies.
If you haven’t already, now is the time to start making plans to join your CA classmates and friends across class years for a fun-filled weekend back in Concord. Many thanks to our reunion committee for all they are doing—your chameleon spirit is inspirational!

The History of CA’s Campus: an Augmented Reality Tour
How do we tell the stories of Concord Academy? How do we tell the stories of the people—American, African, European, English, and Wampanoag/Nipmuc—who inhabited this space before CA was founded? Over the past year, students in Public History: Musketaquid/Concord/Concord Academy, taught by Kim Frederick, and Mobile Apps for History, taught by Ben Stumpf ’88, have developed a mobile app that lets you experience these histories and places through augmented reality tours of the campus. Students worked with the Concord Museum, the Concord Public Library’s Special Collections Department, the Concord Academy Archive, and other local history institutions to explore and retell the stories of the land that is now CA. This is an interactive discussion; a smart device is encouraged to fully experience the program.
10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.
The Art of Story
At CA, we celebrate the power of stories, and the many forms they can take—not only narrative but also through the visual arts and performance. Hear from CA alumnae/i artists from a wide range of fields who are telling stories in their own unique ways.
