Buena Vista Concordia International School of

Shenzhen

In 2011, BuenaVista Concordia International School was opened to begin the next phase of educational service to the communities of China through the Concordia Hong Kong (協同) organization. The goal was and remains that BCIS will provide a high caliber education that nurtures the brain, body, and spirit. A holistic approach to educating young people is the hallmark of Concordia schools around the world, engaging students in a life-long journey in education and service, molding students through academic and personal growth. To understand the question of who we are one must look closely at three aspects of the school. First is our student and parents. BCIS is a private school that serves local and foreign families, to provide a bright future where many doors and opportunities exist. Parents embrace the Concordia spirit and network of resources that provide support during primary, secondary, and university education and beyond. Student develop communication skills and create relationships with people all across the globe, becoming members of the Concordia family. Second is that Concordia network. For nearly 200 years, more than 2600 schools in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia have brought children together with common methods, common goals, and have created a lifelong connection that enables people to serve one another. The newly formed Concordia Federation of Schools in Asia extends that rich heritage and seeks to further establish solid partnerships among the 50+ schools in the China and Hong Kong.
