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
March 2026 Highlights
In early March, Christian school leaders from across Europe and beyond gathered in Budapest for the International Educational Leadership Conference (IELC 2026) under the theme “On Mission, On Guard.” Over 3 days of learning, prayer, and deep conversation, participants were encouraged not only to lead well today but to endure faithfully in the long-term calling of Christian education.

Framing Our Teaching with a Biblical Worldview
What is education for? For educators, there is perhaps no more important question than this one. Our answer defines what we believe our profession is about and frames the way we teach and how our students learn. For Christian educators, our understanding of the purpose of education needs to be framed by a Biblical worldview.
