This year Concordia’s Word of the Year is THRIVE. Our goal this year is for our students and families to grow, learn, and excel as part of our school community. Just like the branches and leaves of a tree, our best growth happens when we connect to each other and our community!

After twelve years working at our sister school in Vietnam, I am ecstatic to be in Shanghai learning more about our school and my new host country.

I look forward to being a part of the Concordia community."
