Concordia is also a member of the Global Online Academy (GOA), which offers an array of rigorous credit-bearing courses that allow students to personalize their learning.
High School Counseling
Concordia provides a comprehensive, developmental counseling program addressing the academic, career, personal, social, spiritual, and developmental needs of all students. Our counselors advocate for students and provide support to maximize each student’s potential, gifts, skills, and academic achievement.
Additionally, counselors provide guidance in college and career planning.
College Counseling
The purpose of college counseling is to provide a personalized, student-centered program that informs and supports both students and parents. Counselors help students discover college or university communities that will best serve their academic and personal growth.
College Guidance is a four-year program educating parents and students extensively about preparing for college, the college search process, the completion of applications, and ultimately, the selection of a college/university. The degree of guidance increases and becomes more specialized as students advance through high school.
Counselors work with all grade levels throughout the year to help them evaluate their values, interests, personality, and skills in relation to college and career planning.
Graduation
Concordia graduates have a remarkable track record of acceptances into world-renowned institutions. We take pride in matching the aspirations of our students with institutions that will foster their continued growth and lead them to fulfilling futures.
