We believe that each child’s enrollment is an invaluable trust. The administration, faculty and parents are active partners in ensuring that the entire family’s experience as part of the community is a positive and lasting one. While our school is well-known for academic excellence, a global perspective, and being an intellectual hub, we are even more proud of our established reputation for fair play, good character and sense of fellowship—the building blocks of community.
We have found that modeling Christian values positively affects our students and community, creating a sense of security where all can flourish. We strive to treat each other, and our children, with care, respect and equity—always. 
The time-tested building blocks of our values are foundational to Concordia International School Shanghai and continue to shape the interaction and direction of our community.
At Concordia, we view every student as a gift from God, entrusted to us by parents, and are committed in Christian stewardship to educate students holistically in a nurturing environment that includes comprehensive and challenging opportunities in academics, creative arts, spirituality, athletics and co-curricular activities.
Concordia will continue to be recognized as one of the preeminent schools in Asia.
