“Concordia has some of the most caring and qualified teachers I have ever met. They set high standards for their students but also dedicate a lot of time to helping students succeed.” – Concordia Class of 2013 graduate
Start Your Journey in a Nurturing Environment
Rather than simply focusing on the development of a student’s intellect, we strive to develop the whole student in a unique global perspective. Encouraging fair play, good character and a heart for service is an important aspect of our holistic approach to education. And we believe a child’s education is a team effort among the parents, the student and the school. All parties work together to prepare students for their future.
“Our family loves Concordia dearly… in particular, my daughter. She receives great support, love and care from teachers and staff to excel in her education as well as help her grow into a good person. I’m confident she will maintain the core values Concordia helped her develop.” –Concordia parent, Thailand
Embrace Community at Concordia
Through a culture of involvement and interaction, our families connect. The diverse community, representing nearly thirty different nationalities, is proud to call Concordia home. The school, grounded in Christian values, is welcoming and supportive, allowing students and families to successfully transition to their new environment.
“We were worried about moving half a world away from our family and friends. But we felt welcomed and from day one. The boys have met and interacted with kids from all over the world. I had no idea the ease with which you can make new friends and establish a support system here in Shanghai.” -Concordia parent, USA
