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.

Moving beyond insight toward implementation, this article highlights how intentional systems and collaborative tools such as CSIP can help leadership teams translate mission vision into consistent practice and long-term school improvement.
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.

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.
