The Anniversaries of Evangelical Christian Schools in France
This year marks an important stage in the life and development of at least six Evangelical Christian Schools in France. It is ACSI’s custom to award the schools who celebrate their longevity with a commemorative “Anniversary Plaque” at our annual “Mathurin Cordier Conference” for Christian Schools and their teachers from France, Switzerland and Belgium.

We would like to stress that these schools are pioneers, not only by title, but because their founders have persevered without financial support from the state and little or nothing from most of their local churches.
If they have managed to remain open to this day, grow in experience and reputation, it is thanks to the perseverance and the tenacity of their founders: the Rozier, Rindel, Cecconello, Wolff, Gandoin, Mewton couples and their precious collaborators.
We congratulate them and encourage them to consolidate their experiences, explore new horizons, and, most importantly, to trust the Lord to lead them, in order to ensure their continued existence, as authentic Christ-centered educational institutions.
