Admissions at Concord Preparatory School

Admissions Philosophy

We evaluate the whole student — academic readiness, character, and fit with our community.

Concord does not admit based on test scores alone. We are looking for students who are ready to engage seriously with a rigorous curriculum and who will contribute to the school community.

Starting the Conversation

Admissions begins with a family conversation, not a form

The best admissions decisions are made when both sides have enough information. We encourage families to ask direct questions — about curriculum, expectations, placement, and fit — before moving toward an application.

The admissions team at Concord is available to speak with families at any stage of the process. Whether you are exploring options early or ready to inquire, we will take the time to understand your student's background and goals.

Transparency

No surprises in the process or the expectations

We explain exactly what we are looking for, what the application requires, and what life at Concord involves before any family commits.

Individual Review

Every application is reviewed as a whole student

Academic records, placement assessments, and family conversations all contribute to an admissions decision. No single factor determines the outcome.

Responsiveness

Families hear back quickly and get clear answers

The admissions team responds to inquiries promptly and keeps families informed at each stage, from first contact through enrollment confirmation.

Who We Admit

Three qualities that define the students who thrive at Concord

We are not looking for perfect students. We are looking for students who are ready to work seriously and grow within a structured, high-expectation environment.

The Family Experience

What families consistently say about the process

Direct communication Families reach real staff, not automated responses. Questions are answered clearly and quickly throughout the process.

Honest placement guidance We give families a genuine assessment of where their student would be placed and why — including when we believe another school would be a better fit.

Support through enrollment Once accepted, the transition team ensures families have everything in place before the first day of school.

International Families

Families from around the world choose Concord for the outcomes

Concord has extensive experience supporting international students through the admissions process.

International families bring students who are motivated, academically prepared, and looking for a rigorous American college-preparatory experience. Concord's admissions process remains accessible for families based outside the United States, with remote consultation and documentation support available throughout.

The school provides immigration and visa guidance, English language placement assessment, and transition support to ensure international students arrive fully prepared. The academic team works with each international student individually to confirm placement is appropriate and that the first semester is set up for success.
