Highlights for April 2017
Current news and prayer requests from ACSI Europe
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord!
In this edition of ACSI Europe HIGHLIGHTS I would like to give you a brief report on two trips of visiting Christian schools.
Jesus says in Luke 17:21 "the kingdom of God is in your midst". During the two weeks before Easter, I was visiting Christian schools in the USA and in Romania. In the USA I was with 22 Christian school leaders from Germany, Czech Republic, Romania, and Hungary visiting four Christian schools. We learned a lot about what makes Christian schools effective in preparing the next generation for God's Kingdom work. Then I was visiting four Christian schools in Romania with two Christian school leaders from Holland. We met with school leaders, spoke to teachers, and student groups during our visits. I can summarise our experiences at the Christian schools best by saying that we had a chance to experience and enjoy the kingdom of God through the school communities we were visiting.

2026 school year in review - Thank You
As another school year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing — as we should — to ask a question that matters more than any metric or milestone. What has God been doing through Christian schools in Europe this year?
The answer is larger than any one school, conference, country, or organization. It is a story told in classrooms and conference halls, in student testimonies and teacher conversations, in policy discussions at the European Parliament and around the graveside of a faithful servant.
Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence
There is a question running through every staffroom, every school board meeting, and every teacher's planning session right now, whether it is spoken aloud or not: What does faithfulness look like in the age of artificial intelligence?
Course Offering - Restorative Responses to Challenging Behavior
One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.
Flourishing Communities: A Restorative Approach
Restorative practices provide a framework for addressing both individual behavioral challenges and interpersonal conflict, but it is even more than that. “The restorative approach is a way of being with others, a relational approach to prevention and intervention”
