Hungarian Administrators' Conference

February 18-19, 2016

ACSI Europe organized this leadership conference in cooperation with the Hungarian Reformed Pedagogical Institute, which is an answer to prayers of many years. We had 90 Christian school-, and kindergarten leaders, as well as school pastors attending this event. Our conference theme was: "A Christian as a Leader - a Leader as a Christian".
We had speakers from Holland, England, and Hungary.

The following topics were addressed:

Leadership Roles in the Family • A Christian as a Leader – a Leader as a Christian • Christian School Leadership – International Outlook • Leadership Ethics • The Christian School and Parents • Round-table Discussion: Christian Aspects of Leadership • The Christian Educator as a Leader • 21st Century Learning and Teaching in Christian Schools • Project Based Learning • The Impact of a Christian School Leader on School Improvement.

THANK YOU for praying for this special event! We truly sensed the presence of the Holy Spirit working in the hearts and minds. We received very positive feedback regarding the joint organization of the event, as well as the spiritual and academic blessings of the conference.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

What is ACSI?

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.
