2021 Day of Prayer
The ACSI Day of Prayer is an annual event that advances Christ-centered education by advocating through prayer. There is no doubt that this school year has been unique and often challenging, but God desires for His people to flourish despite the surrounding circumstances. Therefore, we encourage you to join ACSI as we unite globally to pray for Christ-centered education on Tuesday, February 23, 2021.
2021 Day of Prayer Theme: Flourish
Several times throughout the Bible, the concept of “flourish” predominantly refers to those who seek God in all His ways. Since ACSI desires to point students to Jesus Christ, we took a few years to explore what helps Christian schools to flourish. After building the Flourishing Schools Research, ACSI developed the Flourishing School Culture Model, which determined 5 domains where a Christian School can flourish. We will utilize these domains as our prayer guide this year.
Despite the challenges that faced the first church, we are reminded in Acts 12 that “the word of God continued to spread and flourish.” Today, we may be facing different obstacles, but the same God that helped generations of believers is the same God that will help you, your students and your school community today.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots to the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8
Standing in the Gap
In January 2026, leaders from across Europe gathered in Brussels for the General Assembly of the European Association for Christian Education (EACE). With 44 participants representing 20 countries, the meeting offered a rich space for reflection, strategy, and collaboration at a time when Christian education in Europe faces both growing pressures and new opportunities.
The Hope of Christmas
As the season of Advent unfolds, Christian school communities are given a unique opportunity to pause and reflect on the true hope that Christmas brings. This hope is not simply a warm feeling of holiday cheer, but a deep confidence rooted in the reality that God has come among us in Jesus Christ.
ACSI Day of Prayer 2026
On February 24, 2026, 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.
Digital Citizenship Education from a Christian Perspective
The Council of Europe’s framework, “Easy Steps to Help Learners Become Digital Citizens” (2023), defines three domains for development: Being Online, Well-Being Online, and Rights Online. But what does digital citizenship mean for Christian schools whose mission is grounded in Scripture rather than in secular definitions of the human person and society?
