History of Concord Academy Concord Academy in Petoskey opened in the fall of 1994 as one of the first public school academies in Michigan. Originally intended to be a K-6 school, it opened as a K-8 school in response to public interest. The following year it added grades 9-12 to become a complete K-12 school. School enrollment climbed quickly from its original 110 students up to 200 students and soon after to 270 students. Concord's current enrollment is 332 students.Subsequently two other schools modeled after Concord Academy opened in Boyne City and later in Antrim. While Concord Academy Petoskey was the original school, each subsequent school adopted the curriculum plan but operates and functions independently.Concord Academy Petoskey operates with its own instructional plan written by Kim Overton, co-founder, and the high school curriculum written by Anne Scott. Concord is a one-school district and operates as its own school and as its own district and reports to all local and state agencies as such.Over the course of fourteen years, Concord Academy has remained true to the original mission and instructional plan, while continuing to update and refine the curriculum. In 2003 the board of directors in conjunction with Lake Superior State University adopted a comprehensive set of school policies and added administrative guidelines in 2005
