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?

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 3

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.

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 2

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.
