University Fair

On October 24th, 2024, Concordian International School proudly hosted its University Fair, welcoming 43 universities from across the globe to our school. This year’s event proved to be a resounding success, providing a crucial platform for our Grade 10–12 students to explore their post-secondary options and connect with representatives from leading institutions in the UK, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, and China.

The fair served as an invaluable opportunity for students to delve into the diverse world of higher education. Choosing the right university and program is a pivotal decision, and for many students, this was their first real opportunity to envision themselves in a university setting. The chance to speak directly with university staff allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of campus culture, student life, and the overall university experience.

Our students, ranging from those beginning to consider their future pathways in Grade 10 to those finalizing their university applications in Grade 12, engaged enthusiastically with university representatives. A key focus of the fair was providing students with clarity on university entry requirements. Navigating the application process can be complex, and understanding the specific qualifications needed for admission is essential. University representatives provided detailed information on academic expectations, standardized test scores, and other crucial criteria. This direct access to admissions experts empowered students to ask specific questions related to their individual circumstances and gain a clear understanding of what they need to achieve to be competitive applicants.

The financial aspects of higher education are also a significant consideration for students and their families. Recognizing this, university representatives shared information on a range of scholarships, grants, and other funding options, helping students explore ways to make their university dreams financially attainable. This information is particularly valuable as students and families begin planning for the financial investment in higher education.

The success of the University Fair would not have been possible without the support of our parent community. We extend our sincere gratitude to all the parents who attended the event and encouraged their children to explore the diverse range of universities present.

We look forward to welcoming even more universities in the years to come and providing our students with further opportunities to explore and connect with world-class institutions.
