The large, beautiful campus on Main Street in Concord, Mass., is home to nearly 400 students in grades 9 through 12 from nearby towns and around the globe. CA prizes collaboration over competition. Daily interactions are shaped by uncommon levels of trust. They embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds, they foster independent thinking, and they invite passionate dialogue and debate.
