Head of School

Welcome!

Concordia International School Shanghai offers an outstanding, college-preparatory American-based curriculum and has long been recognized for its dedication to academic excellence. We’ve come a long way since the fall of 1998 when only 22 students were enrolled in the Elementary and Middle Schools. At the beginning of 2011 we celebrate our growth with more than 1,200 students enrolled across the Elementary, Middle and High Schools and more than 130 highly credentialed faculty and administrators.

Concordia’s dramatic growth is fueled by the quality of the education program offered, the numerous co-curricular opportunities, and the emphasis on Christian values and community. Together these components serve to provide a healthy balance in the lives of our students. Values are woven into the fabric of our school and we serve students and families of all faith backgrounds. At Concordia, parents, students and teachers all work together in a values-based environment creating a wonderful sense of community.

Concordia continues to attract those families seeking rigorous academics, a whole child philosophy and a welcoming environment for themselves and their children. Our comprehensive curriculum, from Preschool to Grade 12, produces students with their own unique balance of Global Citizen, Servant Leader, Spirited Athlete, Confident Artist, and Passionate Scholar. We invite you to stop by for a visit and discover for yourself the amazing community that makes up Concordia International School Shanghai.
