This is an IB school. There is no homework policy in elementary school. Middle school has small amount of homework. My kids enjoy the school. But I do not think the math standard meets the math standard in Virginia. You probably need to supplement your kids extra math. This is just my opinion. This school is not well known for academic standard, but they provide other opportunities like sports and fostering a well-rounded global citizen. - Aug 2022


Yes. Concordia is known for its rigorous academic curriculum, designed to tailor to the needs of each individual student. An example of this is the Reading/Writing Workshop curriculum, which allows each individual student to select books from her or his individual level. Teachers work with students and regularly assess them, and students can move up a level, ranging from A to Z, whenever deemed ready by the teacher. The levels move quickly at the lower levels, giving students a taste of success and helping develop a love of reading. - Nov 2020
