We invite you to join a team, which can best be described as reflective, creative and, above all, student focused.
As a US curriculum based school with an overall enrollment of just under 1200 students, we are affiliated with Columbia University's Teachers College Readers & Writers Workshop and the Advanced Placement programs. Concordia provides a Preschool (age 3) through Grade 12 program in Shanghai, one of China’s most vibrant and exciting cities.
We are a mission driven, not-for-profit school located in a suburban, “green” neighborhood in the Pudong area of Shanghai, and are regularly acknowledged for our thriving community. Empowered teachers communicate a passion for learning and at Concordia we believe that a passion for learning is essential for achieving life success.
