Student Leadership Conferences

Our Student Leadership Conferences are international events for ACSI member schools that take place in Hungary early each school year. These are unique opportunities for students to grow in their faith and in their leadership skills, and to fellowship and worship together with like-minded young people from many nations.

We provide 2 SLC events in consecutive weeks, each with the same program and theme but different workshops and speakers. Each conference serves 180-220 participants from about 20 schools.

A 3rd SLC annual event is now being planned for mid-October of 2026 in the UK which will serve up to 100 participants. 

Upcoming SLC dates: 

  • SLC 2026 : Sep. 23 - 26 and Sep. 30 - Oct. 3
  • UK location - SLC 2026 : Oct. 14 - 17
  • SLC 2027 : Sep. 22 - 25 and Sep. 29 - Oct. 2

Framing Our Teaching with a Biblical Worldview

What is education for?  For educators, there is perhaps no more important question than this one.  Our answer defines what we believe our profession is about and frames the way we teach and how our students learn.  For Christian educators, our understanding of the purpose of education needs to be framed by a Biblical worldview. 

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 2

Survey insights reveal that while Christian schools across Europe hold strong mission convictions, sustaining alignment in daily practice requires intentional leadership structures. This article explores key needs such as teacher formation, mission-informed decision making, and regular rhythms of strategic reflection.

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 1

At IELC 2026, school leaders from across Europe participated in a short survey designed to explore a simple but important question: How closely do our daily practices reflect the Christian mission we profess? The responses provided a valuable snapshot of the current reality in many European Christian schools. Several clear themes emerged that are worth continued reflection and demand that we work together to strengthen our schools and their impact across our region.
