Dear Praying Friends of ACSI Europe,

We are delighted to report to you that your faithful support of prayers and giving enabled us to provide another blessed event for 185 Christian school leaders from 24 countries.

The International Educational Leadership Conference was held in Budapest on March 1-4. Our conference theme was LEADING FROM THE HEART. Four keynote sessions addressed the various aspects of Christian school leadership, ten workshops in two sessions dealt with practical application of Christian leadership, and a panel discussion provided the opportunity for asking hard questions on Christian school leadership.

Besides the teaching sessions of the conference, there were two sessions dedicated to developing partnership among Christian schools. During this session, schools set up display tables with their school brochures, and ideas for partnership while the other half of the participants visited their displays. During the other partnership session the second half of the schools set up display tables and the rest of the conference participants visited them.

Each person in the picture represents a different country. We are committed to be praying for each other as part of the global Christian school leadership community.
May God continue to use the Christian schools in advancing His Kingdom.
LEADING FROM THE HEART ~ "so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" 2 Tim 3:17

What is ACSI?

2026 school year in review - Thank You

As another school year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing — as we should — to ask a question that matters more than any metric or milestone. What has God been doing through Christian schools in Europe this year?

The answer is larger than any one school, conference, country, or organization. It is a story told in classrooms and conference halls, in student testimonies and teacher conversations, in policy discussions at the European Parliament and around the graveside of a faithful servant.

Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

There is a question running through every staffroom, every school board meeting, and every teacher's planning session right now, whether it is spoken aloud or not: What does faithfulness look like in the age of artificial intelligence?

Course Offering - Restorative Responses to Challenging Behavior

One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.

Flourishing Communities: A Restorative Approach

Restorative practices provide a framework for addressing both individual behavioral challenges and interpersonal conflict, but it is even more than that. “The restorative approach is a way of being with others, a relational approach to prevention and intervention”
