ACSI Professional Development is accomplished, in part, through our online course offerings. Each course is designed as a practical and highly interactive course for all participants at each course offering. It does not require you to travel or even to connect to a live lecture, but instead uses an asynchronous environment on a Moodle platform to provide quality content in the form of short videos and reading selections to each participant. The courses are greatly enhanced by the participant interaction and peer-learning and teaching as well as the direct application of concepts to the Christian school classroom.
- Personalized: Studying on your own schedule and focusing on what is important in your school setting
- Professional: Building on the 4 key skills of 21st Century learning with and from professional educators
- Dynamic: Enriching your understanding of both content and methods for quality, Christ-centered education
- Online: Learning together with colleagues in multiple countries and varied educational settings
- Learning Communities: Ensuring strong group engagement that will continue throughout the course and beyond

The Current Course Schedule Includes:
Strengthening Critical Thinking
Christian schools are often intentional about teaching worldview and preparing students to engage with competing ideas. Yet the way we structure this engagement can either nurture deep critical thinking or unintentionally foster shallow habits of argument. Here are some practical tools to support critial thinking in the classroom.
Education as a Restoration of Hope
Today we turn to the good news: God’s plan of restoration through Christ. This is not only a personal hope but also a framework for how we think about education, leadership, and the shaping of society. How can we build meaningful outcomes into the process of teaching and learning which truly reflect the hope we have in Christ?
Recognizing the Problem of Sin
The foundational, yet often overlooked, reality is the way sin impacts both teaching and learning. As school leaders, we cannot view education merely as the transfer of knowledge or the development of skills. Education is always moral and spiritual, shaped either by truth that comes from God or by distortions introduced by sin.
ACSI Europe Online Prayer
Join Christian school leaders from across the Europe region for a time of prayer, fellowship and encouragement. This group meets on Zoom the 2nd Thursday each month at 13:00 CET to focus our attention on God's presence and provision for His work through global Christian education.
