SHANGHAI, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following a rigorous external evaluation, Concordia International School Shanghai is proud to announce that it has become the first school in Asia to receive the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA) Quality Program Award at the Exemplary Level. This is a rare distinction recognizing excellence in school athletics programs.
Assessed across 10 accreditation-style categories, Concordia achieved an outstanding 97% overall score, well above the required benchmark. This distinction places Concordia among fewer than 1% of schools in the U.S. and only three international schools worldwide to receive this honor!
As the first school in Asia to receive the NIAAA award, this recognition is a powerful testament to the quality of Concordia's athletic coaches and their unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional experience for every student athlete.
Beyond trophies and wins, the award celebrates the school's deeper commitment to culture, character, and community. Concordia's athletic program is designed not merely to develop skilled competitors, but to cultivate resilience, self-management, teamwork and leadership—qualities that will help students later in life.
In another landmark achievement, Concordia has recently become the first school in China to achieve NFHS Level 1 School certification from the National Federation of State High School Associations. All of the school's JV and Varsity coaches have completed certifications in four essential courses: Concussion in Sports, Protecting Students from Abuse, Sudden Cardiac Arrest, and Fundamentals of Coaching. This ensures that all student athletes train and compete in a safe, supportive, and professionally guided environment.
These accolades reflect the dedicated investment of time, energy, and expertise in growing students, supporting coaches, and continuously elevating athletic programs to meet the students' needs. Together, they underscore Concordia's vision of becoming a preeminent school in Asia.

First in Asia: Concordia International School Shanghai Earns Prestigious NIAAA Award
SINGAPORE, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Edge today announced a US$4.5 billion investment to build CGK Campus, one of Indonesia's largest AI-ready hyperscale data center campuses, in the GIIC Industrial Estate in Bekasi. The 500MW CGK Campus marks the company's largest infrastructure commitment to date and underscores Digital Edge's commitment to powering digital transformation in Asia Pacific.
Designed to support the country's rapidly expanding digital economy, the CGK Campus will deliver 500MW of IT capacity at full development, with scalability up to 1GW, establishing a new benchmark for hyperscale and AI-ready capability in Greater Jakarta.
Engineered for next-generation AI workloads with sustainability and operational efficiency at its core, the CGK Campus targets a market-leading annualized PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of 1.25 and features direct-to-chip liquid cooling, recycled water systems, and renewable energy integration. Carrier-neutral and sustainably designed, the campus delivers efficient energy use, network diversity, and broad ecosystem access – reinforcing its role as a central hub for the Indonesia's digital future.
Strategically located – less than 15 kilometers from other major data center clusters and approximately 40 kilometers from Digital Edge's downtown EDGE1 and EDGE2 facilities – the campus offers low-latency access to the capital's key business districts while anchoring Indonesia's broader digital ecosystem. The campus will be built in multiple phases. Phase one includes three buildings: The first building is scheduled to be ready for service by Q4 2026, followed by the second in Q1 2027 and third in Q2 2027.
"The CGK Campus is a pivotal milestone in our APAC strategy and our largest infrastructure investment to date," said John Freeman, CEO of Digital Edge. "This landmark investment will enable us to drive the next decade of innovation, cloud adoption, and digital services across Indonesia and the broader region."
"Indonesia's digital economy is expanding faster than infrastructure can keep up. The CGK Campus bridges that gap with 500MW of sustainable, carrier-neutral capacity built for hyperscale and AI deployments," added Stephanus Oscar, CEO of Digital Edge Indonesia. "With AI shaping the future of enterprise and cloud services, Digital Edge is at the forefront of this transformation."
The campus will be underpinned by the extensive fiber and network assets of Indonet, Digital Edge's wholly owned Indonesian telecommunications subsidiary. "Our infrastructure provides the connectivity foundation for CGK Campus," said Andy Rigoli, CEO of Indonet. "Our new routes to the GIIC campus are built 100% underground, a design that significantly enhances reliability and resilience compared to traditional deployments. Combined with industry-leading equipment and advanced monitoring, this integration enables Digital Edge to deliver carrier-neutral solutions that meet the highest standards for hyperscale and enterprise customers."
