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.
Course Offering - Foundations of leadership
In this 8-week journey, Christian school leaders will explore how to unite biblical truth with practical leadership. From shaping your own leadership style, to defining your school’s mission, to building strong systems for growth, you’ll gain the tools and confidence to lead a thriving community of learning and discipleship.
