Conferences and Events for School Leaders

ACSI events are designed to meet the needs of leaders of national Christian schools in the Europe region. Leaders of international schools are also welcome to attend. Conferences provide unique opportunities for networking, professional growth and spiritual encouragement for school administrators, spiritual life directors, department chairs, members of the board and others engaged in Christian school leadership.

The International Educational Leadership Conference (IELC) is an annual event that serves Christian school leaders and their teams from more than 20 countries each year in early March.

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

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.
