Our Approach to Academics

At Concordia, we believe that learning which is mastered and maintained is the outcome of effective teaching.

We understand that effective teaching is characterized by designing meaningful learning experiences that build on prior knowledge and actively guide the acquisition of complex skills to gradually increase student self-regulation and autonomy.

Early Childhood

Provides educational experiences expressly designed for young children age three to five years old.

Elementary School

Offers students in grades one to four countless opportunities to develop academically, spiritually and socially.

Middle School

Serves grades five to eight and is designed to care for the unique needs of students in this special time of development.

High School

Effective Teaching

Teaching adopts a wide array of methodologies including technological innovations, differentiated approaches and personalized feedback to enable learning for all.

 

A Focus on Learning

Learning is at the center of everything we do. We aim to equip students with the processes of learning across the curriculum, so they are capable of meeting many different types of challenges.

Knowledge is not only acquired in the classroom. We provide countless opportunities for our students to continue learning, expanding their skills, and growing their interests and passions through well-developed Fine Arts, Athletics, and Co-curricular programs.
