Concordia International School Shanghai is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) which is the foremost accrediting agency for higher learning in the United States. WASC accreditation is a seven-year cycle and Concordia was last granted re-accreditation during the 2009-2010 academic year. At Concordia we have fully incorporated the accreditation process into our strategic plan, creating a Comprehensive School Plan for Student Learning focused on ongoing curricular and visionary excellence.

Concordia is also a licensed ACT,  SAT, and SSAT testing center and all of our AP course syllabi are approved by the College Board.
