Conferences and Events
The ACSI Europe office hosts events for Christian school leaders and teachers in our region. The International Educational Leadership Conference takes place every 2 years while regional school leadership events are available in the opposing years.
Conferences for school leaders highlight themes such as “Implementing a Christian Philosophy of Education”, “Leading from the Heart”, and “Developing Professional Learning Communities”. Teacher conference themes and workshop topics may include “Strategies for Biblical Integration”, “Teaching to Heart and Mind”, “21st Century Skills in the Christian School” and many more.
A Student Leadership Conference is also available for all member schools and the International ACSI schools and addresses concepts of Christian leadership for about 400 participants from 15 countries each year.
Events
Rethinking Assessment

Kindness and the Ministry of Leadership
There is nothing like a good crisis to throw the spotlight on leadership. The feeds of my digital subscriptions have all included a number of articles on “leading in challenging times” or variations on the theme. It is so often in times of pressure and uncertainty when people are most looking for leadership to provide a sense of security as much as sensible strategy—to help them feel safe as much as understand the plan.
