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
2026 school year in review - Thank You
As another school year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing — as we should — to ask a question that matters more than any metric or milestone. What has God been doing through Christian schools in Europe this year?
The answer is larger than any one school, conference, country, or organization. It is a story told in classrooms and conference halls, in student testimonies and teacher conversations, in policy discussions at the European Parliament and around the graveside of a faithful servant.
Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence
There is a question running through every staffroom, every school board meeting, and every teacher's planning session right now, whether it is spoken aloud or not: What does faithfulness look like in the age of artificial intelligence?
Course Offering - Restorative Responses to Challenging Behavior
One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.
Flourishing Communities: A Restorative Approach
Restorative practices provide a framework for addressing both individual behavioral challenges and interpersonal conflict, but it is even more than that. “The restorative approach is a way of being with others, a relational approach to prevention and intervention”
