Early Childhood & Elementary School
At Concordia, we provide a warm and stimulating early childhood program for children ages 3 to 5, emphasizing holistic development across academics, motor skills, and social/emotional learning. In our elementary school, covering grades 1 to 5, we build a strong foundation in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, while fostering social skills, emotional well-being, and service-learning. The curriculum includes Mandarin language studies, technology integration, and an intentional approach to fine arts and physical education.
Middle School
Our middle school, for grades 6 to 8, is tailored to the transitional needs of young adolescents. We emphasize academic rigor, independence, responsibility, and leadership within a supportive community. The introduction of a 1-to-1 MacBook program empowers students with enhanced technological skills and learning autonomy.
High School & Applied Learning
In high school (grades 9 to 12), our focus shifts to providing a diverse and tailored academic curriculum aligned with U.S. university standards. Students engage in a mix of core subjects, including opportunities for Advanced Placement courses, and choose electives based on their interests. Our Applied Learning program enables students to link academic concepts to real-world applications and personal interests. This approach enriches the high school experience, fostering academic vitality and personal growth.
Fine Arts
Our fine arts program, integral from elementary through high school, involves in-depth study and practical experience in music, theatre, and visual arts. Starting with guided exploration in elementary school, students progress to more specialized opportunities, including auditioned productions and advanced visual arts, nurturing their talents and encouraging them to pursue their passions.
