Concordia provides students with a forum to examine and articulate their ideas of spiritual identity through the exploration of the meaning of life and subsequent connections to God, other people, and the world. By providing a respectful venue for discussion, our students become more self-aware and develop a positive self-identity and the motivation to be a positive force in our global community. We expect that the school cultivates respect for all persons regardless of race, creed or religion, and foster a basic knowledge of other world religions. This is a powerful tool towards building a bridge of understanding, mutual respect, and acceptance. Students must take one semester credit course each year of high school (Grade 9 World Religions  is integrated into Humanities 9).
