The Concord Review, Inc., was founded in March 1987
to recognize and to publish exemplary history essays by high school
students in the English-speaking world. With the 73nd issue
(Spring 2008), 802 research papers (average 5,500 words, with endnotes
and bibliography) have been published from authors in forty-four
states and thirty-four other countries. The Concord Review
remains the only quarterly journal in the world to publish the academic
work of secondary students.
Many of our authors have sent reprints of their papers with their
college application materials, and they have gone on to Berkeley (6),
Brown (21), Columbia (13), Cornell (12), Dartmouth (10), Harvard (84),
Oxford (10), Pennsylvania (14), Princeton (44), Stanford (26), Yale
(66), and a number of other fine institutions, including Amherst,
Bryn Mawr, Caltech, Cambridge, Chicago, McGill, MIT, Smith, Trinity,
Wellesley, Wesleyan, and Williams.
We have sent such exemplary history essays to subscribers (students,
teachers and librarians) in forty-four states and thirty-four other
countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,
Chile, China, Colombia, England, France, Greece, Holland, India, Indonesia,
Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, New Guinea,
New Zealand, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland,
Turkey, Venezuela and Wales). Schools in Bangkok, California, Connecticut,
Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Singapore, Texas, Vermont and
Virginia have class sets of the Review, and teachers are using these
essays as examples of good historical writing. One girls' school in
Monterey, California has 70 subscriptions for their history students, Singapore American School now has 50 subscriptions, and Bangkok Patana School has a class set for their students of history.
We have had more than 386,000 visitors to this website, at http://www.tcr.org,
which has information and 60 sample essays, including all of the Ralph
Waldo Emerson Prize winners from the last eleven years, and here high
school teachers and history students in the English-speaking world
may learn more about us, find out how to subscribe, and download the
form to send in with an essay (along with their check for $40 for
the next four issues). This site has been mirrored on a server in
Singapore since 1997 for the use of history teachers in Asia. Our
email address is: fitzhugh@tcr.org.
