In all that we do, Concordia aims to open doors of possibility. Our qualified and experienced teachers partner with engaged parents to cultivate the best outcomes for each student. The caring and connected community created through this partnership helps lay the foundation for the entire family’s success in Shanghai. You belong here.

Concordia International School Shanghai is a co-educational day school for students age 3 to 18, located on a 10-acre campus in the heart of Jinqiao—one of Shanghai’s largest international communities. Known as the “green city,” with its many open green spaces and family-oriented amenities, Jinqiao is a destination for expatriate families from around the world.

Concordia is recognized for its dedication to academic excellence and for providing well-developed sports, arts, service and applied learning programs. Our caring, passionate and award-winning faculty deliver a superior American curriculum and pioneer programs that guide individual students toward life success — no matter how they define it.

Life Success Starts with Concordia

Whether they are the youngest learners or soon-to-be graduates, Concordia students apply their learning to real-life challenges. Using an applied-learning approach and purpose-built learning spaces, our passionate teachers create and deliver authentic learning experiences that engage students in relevant and impactful ways.

“The range of activities I was involved in at Concordia stretched far and wide, ranging from applied learning and research to sports and community service. The balance of these opportunities allowed me to go further with my academic pursuits while exploring new interests.”

Start Your Journey in a Nurturing Environment

Rather than simply focusing on the development of a student’s intellect, we strive to develop the whole student in a unique global perspective. Encouraging fair play, good character and a heart for service is an important aspect of our holistic approach to education. And we believe a child’s education is a team effort among the parents, the student and the school. All parties work together to prepare students for their future.

“Our family love Concordia dearly… in particular, my daughter. She receives great support, love and care from teachers and staff to excel in her education as well as help her grow into a good person. I’m confident she will maintain the core values Concordia helped her develop.”

Embrace Community at Concordia

Through a culture of involvement and interaction, our families connect. The diverse community, representing more than 30 different nationalities, is proud to call Concordia home. The school, grounded in Christian values, is welcoming and supportive, allowing students and families to successfully transition to their new environment.

“We were worried about moving half a world away from our family and friends. But we felt welcomed at Concordia from day one. I had no idea the ease with which you can make new friends and establish a support system here in Shanghai”.
