The Concord School House is a historic school building in rural Carroll County, Arkansas. It is located on County Road 309, east of Eureka Springs. It is a single-story wood frame structure, built in 1886 to serve district 48 students. It was used as a school until 1948, when the area schools were consolidated. After a period of private use for storage, it was purchased by a local charity, moved to its present location, and restored. It is used as an event facility. It is one of two well-preserved one-room schoolhouses in the county.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
