Concordia International School Shanghai (Chinese: 上海协和国际学校, Shànghǎi Xiéhé Guójì Xuéxiào) is an international private Christian school based in Pudong, Shanghai, China, founded in 1998. It is a part of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. The school’s launch followed considerable feasibility research and numerous requests from the Hong Kong corporate community for a school.
Founded in 1998, Concordia has grown from 22 students and 14 staff members under the direction of founder Allan Schmidt to its current enrollment of over 1,200 students from pre-K to grade 12 under the direction of Gregg A. Pinick, head of school. In August 2007, the school opened its new elementary school building (replacing an existing structure) and the David F. Rittmann Fine Arts Center (featuring a 450-seat theater to support the drama program, 2D and 3D art rooms, art gallery, band/choir/orchestra rooms, and music practice rooms). For the start of the 2015/2016 school year, Concordia added a new welcome center, cooking studio, drama room, business center, student media center, artificial turf, and a blue track to the school. For the start of the 2016/2017 school year, Concordia added new wall extensions, enclosing passages between, and into, buildings, a new music department office, a new Luther meeting room, and a middle school classroom (where the old Luther room used to be).
Concordia follows the traditional education of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS). This schooling system focuses on three main elements: body, mind and spirit. Concordia International School Shanghai is one of the three international schools in Asia operated by the LCMS. Concordia welcomes families and students of all faiths.
