Concord Boyne Core Values
Mission & Values
Mission: Concord Academy Boyne inspires, prepares, and empowers students in Academics and the Arts.
Our Vision: Concord Academy Boyne cultivates a supportive learning environment based upon our creed that prepares students for a life of impact.
Dedication to Fine Arts
We are committed to the fine arts as a necessary part of a child’s education because the arts provide students with:
- an outlet for creativity and passion
- self-esteem and confidence
- the opportunity to find their voice
- ownership
- leadership skills
- public speaking and communication skills
Every student at CAB gets an opportunity to experience this!
Leadership
We aren’t just preparing students for college, or a career, we’re preparing them for life! Small class sizes allow students greater opportunities for leadership, ownership, and for connecting with their community through service learning and volunteering.
In addition to regular experiences, students also have an opportunity to continue their leadership path through participation in:
- Student Council
- National Junior Honor Society
- National Honor Society

Our History
01
Construction began on Dietz Road in the summer of 1995. The original construction consisted of nine regular classrooms, three larger fine arts rooms, and a few small rooms used for offices. This 13,000 sq. ft. building housed a K-8 school in our first year.
02
In the summer of 1998, construction began on a 15,000 sq. ft. addition that consisted of seven regular classrooms, a double room to be used as a library space, and two additional sets of bathrooms. This addition was built after we decided to add a high school to our existing system.
03
We agreed to allocate this larger area for the Elementary wing, while we made renovations to the original wing in order to better serve the addition of high school program. Our transition was a gradual one, adding one grade per year, with our first graduating class being the class of 2000. Four rooms were converted into two large science classrooms, one for the Middle School and one for the High School.
04
While we are committed to our original vision and focus, we are currently looking for ways to increase seating capacity for school performances. Recently we have been examining the possibility of expanding our auditorium and/or constructing separate structures for the aforementioned purpose.
