Head of Secondary School
Our collective focus this year will be on enhancing the student experience at Concordian. We will be grounding our work in the Mission Statement, Concordian Values, and IB Learner Profiles, while also seeking input from our Parent Advocacy Group to strengthen student well-being.
Dear Concordian Community, Welcome to another exciting school year! This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate Concordian’s 25th Anniversary. Our celebrations will include a number of special events and performances showcasing our students’ talents. With so many students involved, there may be some disruptions to regularly scheduled activities, and we thank you in advance for your support and understanding. We are thrilled to share that all Grade 9 students will participate in a two-week exchange program in China as part of Week Without Walls. This is a unique opportunity for cultural exchange, language development, and personal growth that we are very proud to offer.
This year, the Secondary Administration has been restructured to better serve our teachers, students, and families. Ms. Min will now serve as the MYP Principal, and Ms. Sally as the DP Principal. If you have program-specific questions, please contact
