2013 - 15th International Student Leadership Conference Report and Download
The 15th Student Leadership Conference - "Blessed by God to Bless Others" - was a huge blessing. We learned that God has blessed us greatly and it is for His purpose, not ours.
Student Quotes:
I was inspired to exercise greater leadership for Christ and to get involved more with the activities and people around me. It was inspiring because of the people who have been preaching to us about these things and because I could see this kind of spirit in the people around me.
I was afraid of failing but I am not anymore. I hope I can be a blessing to others because I am blessed by God.
I was feeling sad and mad because of many difficulties in my life. My heart was locked, but here God opened it again. I learned a lot from the workshops and sessions. And I know it might be difficult to be a leader but God is going to be with me and I am willing to follow Him! And I know I don't have to fear because He is going to make it all right.
He blessed me so much I can't write everything down but one of the biggest blessings was that He talked to me. I had forgot to be a living blessing. I discovered it anew. Thanks for helping and bringing me this blessing!

- Blessed by God - Psalm 1

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.
