CA Magazine

Winter 2024

The winter 2024 issue of Concord Academy Magazine celebrates something central to the CA experience: storytelling. The narratives we choose to tell, and how we tell them, shape our understanding of ourselves and the world—and our communities. This issue considers both the work of CA alums in film and television and the productions we present on the CA stage.
