2024 Day of Prayer
The ACSI Day of Prayer is an annual event that advances Christ-centered education by advocating through prayer. These past few school years have presented many unique challenges, but God has given our school communities the strength to overcome adversities and pursue new opportunities. We encourage you to join ACSI when we unite across the globe to pray for Christ-centered education next year on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.
2024 Day of Prayer Theme: Faithfulness
This year’s theme is faithfulness. Throughout scripture, we see God stays true to His promises. He is steadfast. He is trustworthy. He never fails. God is faithful. No matter how big or small your need, just like he fed the Israelites manna (Exodus 16), he will provide for our daily needs. Just as God is faithful, we should remain faithful to Him to stand for righteousness even when it’s hard. And as a see the Day approaching, we should be faithful to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24-25). We pray that this theme allows you and your school community to celebrate God’s faithfulness while committing to stay faithful to God and each other. Our theme verse found in Isaiah 25:1 also reminds us that God has “done wonderful things, things planned long ago”. This simple reassurance can teach students that God has a special purpose and plan for their lives.
International Class at DCU
The International Class consists of ten students from abroad and ten students currently enrolled at Driestar University. It is meant to be a multi-cultural group where we focus on Christian education. This is a 3 month programme on campus in Gouda, The Netherlands.
Uniters and Reconcilers
The task of the Christian is not to whine about the moment in which he or she lives, but to understand its problems and respond appropriately to them, and, as Christian educators, to train young followers of Jesus to do the same.

Communicating Care in Education
A caring teacher-student relationship is a transformed relationship, positioning the teacher to be a trusted influence and sounding board for the student. However, despite a commitment to care, teachers are not always as successful in communicating care as they intend to be. There is often a disconnect between teacher caring intentions and actions, and the perceptions and experiences of their students. Bridging this gap can be the key to the positive outcomes.
