GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Invest in Concord Students
Your gift to Concord Academy is a gift to our students – a gift that will allow them learn as fast as they can but as slow and they must. Because tuition covers only 80% of the actual costs of a Concord education, we must rely on other sources such as generous donors like you to obtain the remaining funds needed to operate our school and educate our students.
Please consider supporting Concord Academy through:
DIRECT DONATIONS
A gift of any amount is welcome. Gifts may be designated for our general operations fund or our scholarship fund. You may give an online gift through PayPal by clicking the donate button or send a gift by mail to:
