The Overseas Chinese Academy of Concord, Suzhou (OCAC for short), was founded in 2016 in Suzhou Industrial Park with strong support from the local government. We were the first school in China designed for returnee families, overseas Chinese, and families seeking a Chinese-rooted international education for their children.

Located by the beautiful Jinji Lake, about 30 minutes from Shanghai by high-speed train, we opened in 2017 and have since grown into a full K–12 private school with around 400 staff and 2,000 students.

We offer a bilingual program that combines the Chinese National Curriculum with international frameworks such as IB and Cambridge. We are fully authorized for IB PYP, MYP, and DP, making us a full IB World School.

Overall, we focus on developing students with a global perspective while keeping them rooted in Chinese culture.
