Welcome Back from Our
Head of School Dear Concordian community,
Welcome back to another school year! We would like to express our gratitude for your continued support and cooperation during the ongoing Covid-19 situation. We recognize the tremendous amount of challenges that the current crisis has brought to our community and we believe that, as a school, we must continue to focus on what we do best -- providing a cutting-edge education in a safe and secure environment. After consultations with the Samut Prakan Health Department, the school made the decision to reopen in a phase-by-phase hybrid format, allowing us to open in stages. The decision was not taken lightly as the health and safety of our students remain our top priority. All policies and reopening procedures were developed keeping one main goal in sight: making sure our students are able to return to campus in the safest way possible. Even though the Concordian Online Learning program has provided excellent opportunities for ongoing education, we firmly believe that on-site education, including the current hybrid format, truly offers the most balanced approach in terms of the social and academic needs of our students and the safety of our community. We understand that some families have personal reasons that may make on-site learning difficult at this time, and we can assure you that the school has put in place programs that address the needs of all of the students within the IB framework and strict Child protection guidelines. Our promise to the community is to continue to evaluate the situation on a daily basis, to adapt and stay flexible regarding all upcoming challenges and to keep the safety of our students at the top of our agenda. Finding the right balance between safety and educational needs is not an easy task, but it is what our teams are focusing their attention on, and will continue to do so for as long as necessary.
Sincerely, Laurent Goetschmann Head of School
