Health & Safety
The health and safety of our students is an important and intentional consideration at Concordia. Therefore, we are proactive in maintaining an environment that allows all those who enter our campus to feel welcome, safe and secure. We consider all of our preparedness measures and safety procedures holistically to ensure the physical safety and emotional well-being of our school community.
Accessing Campus
At Concordia, keeping our campus safe and welcoming is a priority for our entire community. Students, faculty, staff, and parents use facial recognition technology or their Concordia ID cards for seamless and secure entry. Visitors who do not have a Concordia ID are kindly asked to present a government-issued ID before entering. Our dedicated security team is on duty 24/7, supported by surveillance cameras to ensure everyone’s safety.
Onsite Health Professionals
Concordia has two health offices onsite with full-time, registered nurses to tend to the everyday health needs of our students and who are qualified to handle emergency care.
In addition to our onsite medical staff, all faculty and staff who work directly with students undergo comprehensive first-aid and emergency preparedness training.
Emotional Health and Safety
All children face certain complex emotions during their school years—it’s part of growing up. In addition to their physical safety, we take into account the emotional well-being of our students. Our counseling and guidance staff provide support for students dealing with mental, emotional and stress-related difficulties.
Clearing the air
Concordia continues to invest in the safety and health of our school environment. This includes sustainable solutions to ensure clean, safe air in our campus buildings. Built-in systems across campus ensure that the air quality in all classrooms and common areas remains well below U.S. EPA standards in regard to 2.5 particulate and other pollutants even when the external air quality is poor.
External air quality levels are checked throughout the day and reported via color-coded signs at the entrances to each division using the same monitoring equipment as the U.S. Consulate.

Concordia requires parents to submit two medical forms for each student. Please note that a student will not be allowed to attend classes without these health forms on file in the Health Office.
Student Medical Forms FAQ
We have listed a number of frequently asked questions that parents have asked over the years regarding student heath requirements for admission and enrollment at Concordia Shanghai.
Nut & Allergen Awareness
Concordia is aware that it is impossible to eliminate all nut products and ingredients that cause allergic reactions where food is served, but we are a “nut-and-allergen awareness” school.
