Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Concordian strives to be a model school embodying its mission statement: Concordian International School promotes academic excellence while nurturing young people to become moral and intellectual leaders, people of dignity, integrity and compassion, who want to make a difference in the world. This is not just our mission statement, but it is at the heart of everything we do at Concordian. We believe that an outstanding education will open many doors for our students, but that knowledge, even brilliance, without integrity and compassion toward others is a wasted gift. |
Teaching approach of the school |
We offer all three divisions of the International Baccalaureate Program – Primary Years Program, Middle Years Program, and Diploma Program. Our young learners – from Nursery through Grade 4 – are immersed in two languages of instruction, English and Mandarin Chinese. From Grades 5 through 12, English is the language of instruction and Mandarin is studied as a world language. A talented and diverse teaching staff, outstanding facilities and technology, and active and dedicated parents all work in concert to provide our students with an IB education that paves the way for them to continue their post-secondary education at world-class universities around the world. |
