The Community and Equity Office guides the commitments in Concord Academy’s mission to strive for equity, honor each individual, and cultivate empathy, integrity, and responsibility to build a more just and sustainable future.
A student-centered ethos drives community and equity (C&E) work at CA, which focuses on creating an equitable, inclusive, and positive environment for all our students. The C&E team’s work prioritizes students’ experiences, growth, and humanity. Students are encouraged to set up formal meetings and to drop by the C&E Office to chat, borrow a book, or pet Rumour, the office dog.
Partnering with students and representatives from across the school, the C&E team has been instrumental in creating CA’s antibias and gender support policies and procedures. The C&E team also supports the school’s many affinity spaces, cultural clubs, and social justice organizations and convenes assemblies, workshops, and conversations that bring together students, faculty, and staff to examine identities, build community, and challenge inequities.
