The High Class Charm of Antique Jewelry

Antique jewelry is a perfect blend of history and aesthetics. We use the world's most beautiful and strongest materials to carry the most precious human emotions and ideals, but what makes antique jewelry last forever?

The beauty of jewelry lies in the visual, spiritual and emotional, visual that is, sensual aesthetics, but the spiritual beauty is the beauty that needs to be appreciated with reason, through the language of "jewelry" to carry our emotions and give it cultural attributes.

From antique to contemporary, from East to West, from ancient Greek mythology to women's beauty, through Dr. Li’s class, we can not only recognize the style changes of European antique jewelry, but also empower contemporary jewelry, and at the same time, provoke multi-dimensional philosophical thinking.

How international schools develop well-rounded individuals

As a devoted practitioner of aesthetic education, Concordia has always been committed to cultivating students' ability to discover, understand and create beauty. In addition to providing students with a rigorous and efficient curriculum and warm humanistic care, we also emphasize on the whole-person education and all-round development of students, and provide students with sufficient space for development, professional guidance, and a platform for demonstration in "art and aesthetic education".

In Concordia, we have not only Chinese and foreign art courses, but also a rich provision of extracurricular CCA courses, and even charity art exhibitions for the whole community. Every Concordia student has the opportunity to show their own art works, deepen their understanding of art in the internationalized aesthetic environment, and improve their ability of expression and appreciation in the communication and exchanges with their peers.

To nurture the soul with aesthetic education, Concordia's artistic exploration never stops, and we look forward to our students being affected and inspired by the multi-level artistic experience, and glittering in this ideal place.
