The Concord School of Philosophy, located in Concord, Massachusetts, was a hub for philosophical discussions and lectures during the summers from 1879 to 1888. This institution was a significant part of the Transcendentalist movement and was founded by Amos Bronson Alcott. The school's first meeting was held in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, and later moved to a new building funded by William Torrey Harris and Louisa May Alcott.
