Concordian delivers the full suite of IB programs from Nursery through Grade 12: PYP (Pre‑K to Grade 5), MYP (Grades 6–10), and DP (Grades 11–12). In the Early Years and Primary levels (Pre‑K to Grade 4), students engage in an English–Chinese immersion program, gradually shifting in Grade 5 to instruction mainly in English, with Chinese and Thai studied as additional languages. The PYP follows a transdisciplinary, inquiry‑based framework focused on conceptual learning across multiple subjects. The MYP supports interdisciplinary learning through traditional subjects, encouraging communication, reflection, and intercultural awareness for students aged 11–16. The DP emphasizes academic depth and includes Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) as core elements, preparing students for university-level study.
