Wellness Program for Parents

Concordia has recently been shortlisted by T4 education as one of the top 10 schools in the world in the 'Supporting Healthy Lives' category for the 'World's Best School' award. A significant contributing factor in this is the school's Wellness program for faculty, staff and parents. From Spinning, Soccer, Pickleball, Yoga, or Zumba (and many more) - there is a diverse menu of options for parents to get involved in the program. Many of the activities are offered free of charge to parents. Read on for more details.
