A Special Message and Support from the ACSI Europe Team during the COVID-19 pandemic
Warm greetings to you from ACSI Europe!
These are difficult times for us all. Uncertainty, fear and disappointment are present in all of our lives. Adjustments that must be made are stressful and demanding. Teachers and schools are playing a very important role around the world right now in keeping our young people safe, even though we must do this in new ways. THANK YOU for the hard work you are doing!
We recognize that you are dealing with a constant stream of communication right now, but we wanted to reach out to all of our member schools and their staff to let you know that you are valued and prayed for by the ACSI Europe team. Although our office is closed, we continue to work remotely as best we can. Please feel free to reach out to us if there is anything we can do to support you at this time, or with specific prayer requests.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)
Serving the God of hope with you!
The ACSI Europe team.

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.
