School Update
Concordian Strengthens Partnership with Bashu School, Chongqing, China Third school added to our Grade 9 Exchange Programs for the 2025-2026 Academic Year
On December 10, 2024, Ms. Min Li, one of the Secondary school
principals, visited the prestigious Bashu School in Chongqing, China. This visit marked a milestone in Concordian International School’s collaboration with Bashu, following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in October 2023. The visit formalized the establishment of an exchange program set to launch next year.
Bashu School, founded in 1933, is recognized as one of the leading middle and high schools in China and the top-ranked school in Chongqing. Renowned for its excellence in STAM (Science, Technology, Arts, and Mathematics) competitions. Bashu achieved the number one ranking in 2024 for Olympiad gold medals in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and information technology. The school boasts a sprawling 15-acre main campus in downtown Chongqing, accommodating over 10,000 students. Bashu School holds a high reputation for its academic excellence and well-rounded character education. Each year, approximately 100 students secure admission to Tsinghua University and Peking University, China’s most prestigious institutions, with others gaining entry to leading universities in China and worldwide. This partnership signifies an exciting opportunity for students from both schools to foster cross-cultural connections and academic collaboration. Ms. Min Li
