Message from the Director of Activities and Sport
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year and another exciting year of Activities and Sport at Concordia. At Concordia, activities and sport are an extension of the classroom and play an integral role in living out our holistic approach to education. The Activities and Sport Department supports students from Pre-School through Grade 12 through a wide range of opportunities, including Extracurricular Activities (ECAs), competitive and recreational sports, extracurricular arts, aquatics, athletic training, and wellness opportunities for faculty, staff, and parents. This year, we are proud to share that Concordia has been recognized through the NIAAA Quality Program Assessment (QPA), affirming our commitment to education-based athletics and the development of programs that support student well-being, leadership, and
lifelong learning through activities and sport. We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of professionals who work daily to ensure that students, coaches, instructors, and families benefit from meaningful, well-supported programs aligned with Concordia’s mission. As members of the Association for Music in International Schools (AMIS), Asia Pacific Activities Conference (APAC), Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS), and Shanghai International School Activities Conference (SISAC), Concordia students continue to have exceptional opportunities to represent our community on local, national, and international stages. Please do not hesitate to contact me, members of the Activities and Sport team, or our coaches and instructors if you have questions or need assistance throughout the year.

Activities and Sport Academy Offerings
We are delighted to share the news that our Activities and Sport Academy offerings will this year be expanded to include Dance, with the BodyLab providing evening and weekend Dance options at Concordia for both Concordia and non-Concordia students. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to pursue their passions on Concordia's campus during evenings and weekends beyond the Concordia season.
