Concordia's semester exam week will be held from December 8th to 11th. Students will have two exam blocks on these days of 120 minutes each. These are still recorded classes, and students are required to be in attendance. The exam blocks may involve seated semester exams or written papers, project work, presentations, or other work associated with the course. All classes will have assignments due during these blocks. Students who miss an exam will make it up the morning of the next day. Students may work on campus in the morning and study by theselves or in groups or work with teachers. Teachers will have posted office hours and scheduled times to meet.

January Updates
This is a reminder that school will start back on January 5, 2026. We look forward to the last two weeks of our first semester ending on January 16th. Grades will be shared with parents on Thursday, January 22nd. Semester two will begin on Monday, January 19th for all classes.
Save the Date - Alumni Panel
Concordia will once again be hosting our Alumni Panel where we welcome Concordia Graduates back on campus to share their experiences. This annual event will be held on Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at 8:30 - 9:30 am in Wittenberg. This is a fun experience for our parents to hear directly from former students about how Concordia prepared them for college, and their experiences after graduation. If you have an alumni returning, please have them reach out to Irrey Zhang, Alumni Relations, if they are interested in participating. Her email is: alumni@concordiashanghai.org
Updates and Reminders
It is that time of year when all of our students bring their Apple laptops, Black Backpacks, Concordia Blue Hoodies, and Black instrument cases to school. We are starting to see students who are having items "stolen" or "taken". In most cases, these items are simply picked up by another student accidentally, thinking that the Concordia Hoodie was theirs. We encourage students to put their name on their items, or put something on their bag or case that is identifiable as theirs.
In the event that you do have an item misplaced, please have your child backtrack to the last places they had. Check in our lost and found areas and speak with teachers where they had the item. If they are unable to find it, please contact Everett Hill, Assistant Principal at: everett.hill@concordiashanghai.org for assistance.
