Blog Post #11

I chose to look at Concordia International's website and find out a little more of how schools differ around the world. It was interesting to see how they say they still use American curriculum in a different country, especially a country where they are proud of their education. Also, I think it was awesome to see how open they are with being a Christian school. Their mission statement says it all, "At Concordia, we view every student as a gift from God, entrusted to us by parents, and are committed in Christian stewardship to educate students holistically in a nurturing environment that includes comprehensive and challenging opportunities in academics, creative arts, spirituality, athletics and extracurricular activities."

This Concordia prepares students for college by offering university-level advanced placement classes for students in high school. Also, advanced placement exams offer students the opportunity to earn credit or advanced standing at most U.S. colleges and universities.The school prides itself on having small classes that promote individual learning so all students will be able to understand what is being taught.

Since I love sports I looked at all the different sports they offer. I'm jealous. They have high school boys volleyball, I never had that opportunity. I played in grade school and coach volleyball but to play in high school, I can only wish.
