History

Concordia was created in 1998 and has expanded from 22 students and 14 staff members under founder Allan Schmidt to its present enrolment of over 1,200 students from pre-K to grade 12 under the leadership of head of school Steve Winkelman.

In August 2007, the school opened its new elementary school building (which replaced an existing structure) and the David F. Rittmann Fine Arts Centre (which includes a 450-seat theatre for drama, 2D and 3D art rooms, an art gallery, band/choir/orchestra rooms, and music practise rooms).

For the 2015/2016 academic year, Concordia erected a new welcome centre, cooking studio, theatre room, business centre, student media centre, artificial turf, and a blue track. For the start of the 2016/2017 school year, Concordia constructed additional wall extensions enclosing routes between and into buildings, a new music department office, a new Luther meeting room, and a middle school classroom (where the previous Luther room used to be).
