At Concord, an education includes
both what is learned in the classroom and outside of
the classroom. Listed below are some of the academic
aspects that set Concord above other parochial
schools.
The National Lutheran
School Accreditation has a rigorous accreditation
process designed to evaluate schools based on their
unique purpose as Lutheran schools. The North
Central Association is known for its sharing of
accreditation standards across the state, regional,
and national boundaries. For more information, click

Concord's average K-8 student
to teacher ratio is 7 to 1. This allows our
teachers to give the individual attention that
each student may need or want.
Junior Achievement in all of
the grades exposes students to business and
economic principles during the social studies
period on selected days. Local business people
teach several sessions. These programs are
organized and operated by Junior Achievement of
Chicago with the cooperation of classroom
teachers.
Electives are offered to
students in fourth through eighth grades and
change on a quarterly basis. The student chooses
which elective he/she would like to enroll in. A
nominal fee is charged at the time of
registration.
