A school of love and ideals

Concordia Middle School was founded by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in 1967. Motivated by the love of the Lord and vision of Christian education, founding principal Robert Zimmer located a property in Min Hsiung and overcame many logistical challenges to establish a new school. Over the past forty years, CMS has grown under the leadership of Mr. Zimmer and three other principals, who worked hard to build up the school’s programs and facilities. Today CMS is a big family composed of the junior high, the senior high and the vocational departments. There are about two thousand students in attendance.
