The Anders Family

"We would like to say a big Thank You to the Concordia school community for making our one year stay in Hanoi such a pleasant experience. 

We highly appreciated the student focused approach, high academic standards and supportive education environment for our daughter (middle school). The teachers and staff went way beyond our expectations to help our daughter transition to the new country and school setting. 

Additionally, we enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere at numerous school events and the friendly interactions with school staff and parents. A lot of personal connections evolved."

"Wir möchten der gesamten Concordia Schulgemeinschaft, allen Lehrern, den hilfsbereiten Mitarbeitern, und Mitgliedern de Elternbeirats ein großes und besonders herzliches Dankeschön dafür aussprechen, dass sie unseren einjährigen Aufenthalt in Hanoi zu einer so angenehmen Erfahrung gemacht haben.

Wir haben insbesondere den schülerorientierten Ansatz, die hohen akademischen Standards und das unterstützende Bildungsumfeld für unsere Tochter (Mittelstufe) sehr geschätzt. Die Lehrer und Mitarbeiter haben unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen, um unserer Tochter den Übergang in das neue Land und die neue Schulumgebung zu erleichtern. Die einladende Atmosphäre bei zahlreichen Schulveranstaltungen und der freundliche Umgang zwischen dem Schulpersonal und den Eltern macht Concordia zu einer besonderen Schule, die wir uneingeschränkt allen Eltern empfehlen. Wir sind uns sicher, das die  vielen persönlichen Beziehungen, die wir als Familie an der Concordia Schule knüpfen konnten lange fortbestehen werden."

The Fujisaki Family

Since I was attending a local school in the United States, I chose Concordia because I can continue studying in the American curriculum. What I like about Concordia is that everyone warmly welcomed me, who transferred in the middle of the school year, and the facilities such as cafes are fully equipped to make daily school life comfortable.

今までアメリカの現地校に通っていたので、アメリカのカリキュラムで勉強を続けられるコンコルディアを選びました。ぼくが感じたコンコルディアの良いところは、学年の途中で編入したぼくをみんなが暖かく迎えてくれたことと、カフェなどの設備が充実していて、毎日の学校生活が快適なことです。

The Hoshi Family

It's been almost three years since my daughter started going to Concordia in Preschool. During the tour, we gasped at the huge green playground and beautiful campus.
The teachers were very friendly, and I felt that because the class size is small, they can look after each and every child well. Concordia only hires experienced teachers, so I thought that the quality of the lessons is good for girls who do not speak English as their mother language. She was able to get used to the school sooner than I thought she would because of the EAL support in class. My daughter likes classes using a computer, and she takes an iPad after school activity twice a week.

At various events held in an international environment, there are many opportunities to introduce the culture of each country, and you can see that children and parents recognize and respect each other's differences. I think my exposure to various nationalities and cultures from a very young age has a very positive impact on my daughter.

When I look at my daughter who loves school, I'm really glad that she is able to attend Concordia.

娘はプレスクールからコンコルディアに通い始め、もうすぐ丸3年になります。 見学の際、緑あふれる広大な敷地に立つ立派な校舎に心を奪われました。 先生方もとてもフレンドリーで、授業の様子も、クラスが少人数で先生との距離がとても近く、一人一人の子供達をよく見てくれると感じました。 実際にコンコルディアは経験豊富な教師の方ばかりなので、授業の質が高いところも英語が第一言語ではない娘にとって良いと思いました。 EALの授業で英語をサポートしてもらえることもあり、心配していたよりも早く学校に馴染むことが出来たと思います。 娘はパソコンを使った授業が好きで、週に2度選択出来るアフタースクールアクティビティでもiPadを使ったものを選択しています。 国際色豊かな環境の中で行う様々なイベントでは、それぞれの国の文化を紹介し合う機会が多く、子供同士・親同士もお互いの違いを認め尊重し合う姿が見て取れます。 幼い頃からこういった多人種・多文化に触れることは、娘にとても良い影響を与えていると思います。 学校が大好きな娘を見ていると、コンコルディアに通えて良かったと心から思います。

The Gilmore Family

Concordia International School of Hanoi has excelled our expectations in every possible way. At Concordia, our children enjoy a safe and caring environment that allows students to develop their learning potential and also grow as global citizens. We enjoy having a personal relationship with teachers and staff, and the school community is outstanding. We truly appreciate that Concordia is dedicated to teaching the same values we practice as a family, in addition to stellar academics. Concordia has done an exemplary job transitioning children from the classroom to online learning due to COVID-19 and the school went above and beyond to support parents and students during this challenging time. Our children are happy at school and as parents, we are very grateful.

The Dalkarov Family

Our family was very fortunate to join the Concordia community. Both of our older kids enjoyed going to school every day, met good friends, and loved their teachers! Concordia is always going to be in our hearts and memories. Our oldest son is now absolutely fascinated with marine life after joining Concordia's Marine Research Program. The best thing about Concordia is the excellent mix of strong academics, athletics, and after school life. This is the balance you want for your children especially living away from home. Concordia cultivated a desire to learn in our children, which will help them so much in their future endeavors.

The Ko Family

Our family is very happy to choose Concordia. When we visited the school for the first time, all the members of the school welcomed us. It made a very good impression on us. Over the six years that my daughter has studied at Concordia, she has become very satisfied and loved school more and more. I think that Concordia has the best curriculum. I believe that she will grow into a confident child with the continued good quality classes at Concordia.

The Park Family

Concordia works as a great support for students to grow according to their individual needs at the right time. For the last two years of being in this community, our daughters have learned to challenge themselves towards their many dreams with passion and courage. Our second daughter (elementary student) has received quality education including team-teaching and the free exchange of opinions, while our first daughter (middle school) has participated in various activities such as sports, chamber ensemble, choir, math club, drama, etc. Outstanding teachers of Concordia have encouraged them to make their choices through their own motivation, plan their journey, and learn through small failures with patience. We see them becoming bolder with self-confidence and learning to solve problems with creative thinking and flexibility.

The Aliaga Family

The word "Concordia," in the Spanish language we speak in Ecuador, means “to live in harmony and balance.” This is exactly what the school has given us, with their charismatic staff who are always clear in the objective of forming good human beings. We are fortunate that our two daughters have benefited during the three years of an entire academic, social, sports, and humanistic infrastructure that respects the environment and integrates multiple nationalities, preparing our children to be respectful of the world in which we live. Our family loves Concordia.

The Yeh Family

We found people at Concordia are quite friendly and willing to help. Especially teachers, who are compassionate, experienced, and always care for their students in all aspects. Concordia creates a student-focused learning environment and curriculum where teachers are familiar with each student and help students to explore their talents and interests. Although this is our children's first school year at Concordia, we have already seen them learn, become more independent, grow in self-confidence, and have a sense of belonging to the community at Concordia.

The Ohama Family

I was worried about air pollution in Hanoi, but Concordia is located far away from the city, so the air is clean and they have a large playground. In fact, my son plays soccer to his heart's content and he is very happy about it. Concordia is the best place, students come from various countries and the school values diversity. The teachers are professional and teach well, and we are very satisfied with them.

ベトナムの市内の空気は気になっておりましたが、コンコルディアは市内から離れているため空気が綺麗で、かつ広大な芝生のグラウンドがあり魅力的でした。実際、入学後息子は大好きなサッカーを思い切りやれてとても満足しています。また、コンコルディアには色んな国籍の子供達がおり多様性を受け入れ、身につけていくには最高の環境だと思っています。コンコルディアは先生がしっかりと勉強を教えてくれるのでその点にも満足しています。

The Rodriguez Family

Walking through the doors of Concordia for the first time, we could feel the warmth and compassion of administrators and teachers. Two years later, that same feeling can be felt every time. Concordia is truly a remarkable community. We have seen the impact of this amazing community on our kids through their individual growth in academics and more importantly character.

The Dhaka Family

Concordia has an amazing spirit and atmosphere, which makes the students and the parents feel very welcome with such warmth and acceptance. The teachers and administrators are loving, supportive and fully accessible. Our son loves going to school, being with his friends, and he looks forward to his day of fun and learning.

The Bender Family

We love being part of the Concordia community. Right from the beginning, we felt welcomed by the staff and other families. Teachers are enthusiastic about our child's education and development. There are numerous opportunities for him to participate in extracurricular programs and to explore and develop new interests and skills.

The Graovac Family

After 4 years at Concordia, our experiences have all been positive! The fact that our boys happily go every day attests to that. What we love about Concordia is the family feeling we have when we are there. Everyone knows each other, and everyone is helpful and kind. It makes us, the parents, jealous that we are not kids again so that we can go to Concordia too!

Preston, Class of 2025

I like the diversity in Concordia, and how people treat each other with kindness and respect. We also get to learn a lot from the teachers.

Being closer to family and just being in America in general I'm really looking forward to. As dumb as it may sound, just having reliable internet is something that I'm excited about. Having more freedom is exciting but also a little intimidating since I am solely responsible for holding myself accountable. I think that the school I selected is a good fit because the campus I felt attracted to when I visited, their program of engineering is strong, along with their facilities.

Henry Winterstein - Class of 2023

I always wanted to discover the big world, and I believe NYU is a good school to get experience while pursuing my dream.

Hyukrak Choi - Class of 2023

I study Computer Science specialist along with a Statistics minor at the University of Toronto. After finishing 3rd year at U of T, I've been working as a software engineer intern at Genesys for the co-op program. And I will continue working here until next August and enter my last year at U of T.

From various in-depth activities and classes that Concordia provided, I was able to find what I really wanted to study. And it helped me to build the essential skills required for my study and work.

Rachel Seong - Class of 2020

After I graduated from Concordia, I got my bachelors degree in Sociology at Azusa Pacific University.

Concordia really prepared me for university and for life because of the staff and the teachers they had.

Gailey Ha - Class of 2017

After CISH, I decided to persue my undergrad at IE University in Madrid, Spain, persuing dual degrees in Business admin and Law. The degree was 5 years so I just recently graduated last July.

Living in Spain has been spectacular, I get to travel here and there within Spain or the EU a lot and I'd say it is pretty enriching.

Linh Nguyen - Class of 2018

MR. SETH CARPER

HS TEACHER

I am most excited about joining Concordia because of the school community. If there is one thing I've heard over and over again, it is how amazing the teachers, students, and parents are and how much pride they have for their school. Even through the many interactions I've had with Concordia staff through this year, I have already been made to feel like part of the Concordia family. Another thing I've heard much about is Concordia Hanoi’s academic rigor. The tradition of academic success and the community that has been built there has a strong reputation that I am excited to become a part of.

Mr. Bart Maas

MS Teacher

I feel very fortunate to be in Vietnam and I hope to stay at Concordia for a long time. Concordia is an amazing place and Hanoi is a great city.

Mr. Scott Sanders

HS Teacher

Concordia is lovely. The students are sweet kids. They come from good families and they’re eager to learn. They have been very welcoming.

Mr. Andrew Creek

High School Teacher

Concordia International School Hanoi is a constant reminder of the core motivations behind my pursuit of a career in education. It is a place of learning and growth, a place of community and care, and a place where students and teachers are encouraged to Dare Mighty Things! I consider myself to be incredibly lucky to be a part of such a wonderful community of learners, educators, and families.
