ICEC 2016 Report

The International Christian Educators’ Conference is held every three years in Europe and serves the great community of teachers and directors from International Christian Schools.

It is indeed encouraging to find American or international schools that offer a framework for a Christ-centered education. The Black Forest Academy in Kandern in Black Forest (near Mulhouse) has 350 pupils and students from Kindergarten to 12th grade and will soon celebrate its 60 years of existence. http://bfacademy.de/
 
This year brought together 336 delegates at ICEC from 68 schools in 37 countries of EUROPE, the NEAR and MIDDLE EAST and part of AFRICA. The dense and rich program included 62 plenary speakers and presenters and 115 workshops in total with a large team of American volunteers and staff of the Black Forest Academy, Kandern. This ensured the success of this event. We were offered a mobile app with all the information organized by ACSI Global from Colorado Springs, the headquarters of the ACSI in Colorado, and Tim Shuman, Director for ACSI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS.
 
The theme was "Effective" from Philemon 1.6: "I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ." The plenary speakers included: Dr. John DIXON (Australia), Dr.Tim STUART (USA-Singapore), Dr. Philippe DOW (USA-Kenya); the latter two being adult children of missionaries (TCKs). They were able to touch the heart and mind of the participants by their depth, their knowledge and their testimonies. https://www.acsi.org/events/global/gl_icec-europe
 
Participants were 90% American, but there were also some European, African and Asian officials and participants. A few non-international schools (Europe, Africa and Asia) were also present! ICEC next conference will take place in 2019 but ACSI Europe will host the International Educational Leadership Conference (IELC) for schools in the Europe region in March of 2017.

The Crisis of the Modern Self

How can we as Christian school leaders address the decaying sense of identity in our students and, even sometimes, in our faculty? Is there any help from God's Word to anchor our identity to something real instead of the culture and its fractured view of human identity?

ACSI Day of Prayer 2025

On March 4, 2025, join Christian school leaders, teachers and students around the world for a day of prayer. Resources are provided for schools to organize prayer-centered activities designed to focus our attention on God's presence and provision for His work through global Christian education.

A Stronger Future for Christian Education

Christian education in Europe faces growing challenges as societal norms shift and regulatory frameworks become increasingly complex. To navigate these challenges effectively, collaboration among schools, parents, school associations, and international organizations is crucial.
