The Concordia School encourages my child to be independent. How will my child function in another school that expects conformity?
At the Concordia School, independence becomes a privilege that is earned through the student’s concern for the needs of others. A Concordia alumnus, who recently graduated from UC Berkeley as a pre-med student, says it best: “Going to Concordia is like going to college. Your school didn’t prepare me for high school. It prepared me for university. In high school the teachers would still hold your hand if you needed it. “At Cal, you’ve either got it or you don’t. Nobody is going to come along and show you how. In university, the decision to study is mine and I’d better make the right decision.” This is a responsibly independent student speaking. This is a Concordia graduate!
