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.
The Concord School of Philosophy drew inspiration from Plato's Academy, focusing on the teachings and thoughts of the Transcendentalists. Notable figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson attended some of the school's meetings before his death. The readings from the unpublished journals of Henry David Thoreau were among the most popular events.
