My children love this school. They have gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. I couldn't get them to get up in the morning until they started Concord Academy Antrim, now they are up and ready to go. They have gone from low C's to A's and B's

I'm a senior this year and I just wanted to post a review simply to express how glad I am that I'm going to be able to say I am a graduate of CMCS. The director of the school has completely turned it around; the teachers are no longer looking over their shoulders wondering if they're doing something

If someone has recently pulled their student out of CMCS, it's more than likely because they are afraid of change. It's scary at first, but overall it has really impacted my high school career.

My children have attended several schools over the years from moving around with the military and I can say without a doubt that Concord is the best school I have ever dealt with. The teachers are excellent and really get to know your children on a personal level. The multi age learning helps children

There are plenty of opportunities for playing and outside learning contrary to a previous review. When the Northern Michigan weather permits it the children are taken outdoors to play and to go on little learning hikes and trips through the property with the teacher or outdoor education instructor. You cannot get the art and music teaching anywhere else in the area to compare to the culture they are learning there. Highly recommended! A++ Read less

At first, I was really pleased with Concord. Really, I guess I never really disliked it until I was forced to pull my daughters out due to a move. It was then that I realized that Concord really wasn't all that I had thought it was. The mixed grade level classes at Concord seemed to keep my daughter

As the result of being one of the younger kids, she seemed to have been pushed off onto the back burner and forgotten. When I transferred my girls to Kalkaska, I realized how far behind Concord had them. To me, that should never have happened. I thought the concept of having mixed classes was great, that was one of the reasons I chose Concord in the first place. Read less

I never realized how bad this school's academic program was until I took my kids out of it. My fifth grader was 3 years behind, and my first grader was 2 years behind. The plus side, they have a brilliant dance teacher.

My daughters have attended Concord for 5 years now and both love this school. My junior just received her ACT score and was delighted (as I was!) with a 26 composite. I credit the fine academic instruction at this school for this good score. We recently acquired a new leader and so many exciting changes
... Read more are taking place! If anyone would like to contact me to ask about this, please do so. I love talking about this school! My junior is sad that next year will be her last here, I think that says a lot. When I hear students from other schools say they are glad to have a snow day or other day off, I always tell them about my children who would rather go to school because they love it. Read less
