Dear Concordians, In the past years, we have been witnessing so many conflicts around the world as well as the continuation of the biggest pandemic of the century. Living through this difficult time of changes, tragedies and conflicts, we can view them as troubles and headaches or we can learn from them and prepare ourselves for what might come. In every crisis, there is always an opportunity for us to be a part of solving the problem or to act with compassion. Change is inevitable in this world and we hope to be a part of the positive changes in this ever-evolving world. You all must question: In this seemingly chaotic and unsettled world, what can we do to make a positive difference? Well, even if we can’t change the bad to good, we can definitely do more good to better the world and to help people. Don’t wait for anyone to come and change the world for you, you just have to make sure that everything you do and say in your everyday life is positive to yourselves, to those around you, and most important of all, to those you love and love you dearly. Show and act based on compassion, and pray that compassion spreads because the world is very much in need of it now. Despite all the troubles, we also had wonderful news from our Graduating Class of 2022. Through all of the adversity of the past two years - the most important years of their high school lives, and the competition of overflowing universities applications around the world, the Class of 2022’s university acceptances have triumphed against all odds. Congratulations to all of our students from Class of 2022! Thank you so much for all the hard work over the past 16 years, including the input of all students, parents, teachers, support teachers, assistants and specialist teachers, administrators, and our college counselors who worked with every single one of our students to achieve the best university acceptances. Thank you to everyone at Concordian who has been a part of our students’ journey. I am so proud of every single one of my graduating students, because I truly believe that each and every one of them will carry Concordian’s Mission in their heart and will one day lead with Dignity, Integrity and, most importantly, with Compassion.

Another school year has come to the end with so much effort from all Concordian families and a community that works hard every day to keep our students safe in order to attend classes on site. Thank you to all from the bottom of my heart for all of your devotion and commitment to the learning of our students. Sincerely, Varnnee Chearavanont Ross
