The Christian School Improvement Platform
The ACSI Christian School Improvement Platform (CSIP) is a community where ACSI member schools can engage in self-assessment, define strategic goals and contribute to strategic development in partnership with other schools as they implement a Christian vision of education.
How can we grow and learn together?
- School leaders often ask us to comment on how their schools might compare to Christian schools in other parts of the world. We want to help, not with comparisons, but rather by helping to identify those areas that may need more attention as you strive to fulfill your mission of Christ-centered education.
- Understanding that each school is unique and in a long-term process of growth and maturity, each school is now able to strategically set goals for improvement using terms common to ACSI schools around the world using the CSIP self-assessment tool.
- Working together as a community of schools is essential to support effective growth. CSIP provides a context which challenges each school to share their own expertise and strengths with others through the platform.

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.
