What kind of curriculum do you use?

Concordia follows North Carolina academic standards while striving to exceed those expectations. We use a variety of curriculum resources and instructional programs to provide a well-rounded education that challenges students academically while keeping Christian values at the heart of learning. We continually review and update our curriculum and resources to meet our students' needs.

Why do students wear a uniform?

School uniforms help create a positive learning environment by encouraging school pride, promoting a sense of community, and reducing distractions and peer pressure. Uniforms also help students develop a sense of responsibility and focus on what matters most—learning and growing together.
