Concordia is a self-funded and financially independent entity. All daily operations, activities and investments are funded via tuition and/or gifts to the school. Additionally, all revenues (after taxes and debt service) have the sole purpose of providing a superior education for Concordia students in terms of expert and qualified faculty, world-class facilities, cutting-edge technology and educational materials. Concordia has established a reserve program to provide monies for contingency planning as well as to provide funding for reinvestment in the school and its programs. Our costs remain competitive with other Shanghai international schools.

We believe that the quality of our faculty is one of the more significant factors affecting student achievement. As a direct result, we commit the largest portion of our resources to the salaries and benefits of our faculty. In addition, we strongly believe that ongoing investment in our faculty through professional development is critically important.
