We want to invite you personally to the 4th International Educational Leadership Conference which we will host online from March 3-5. This event is a response to a growing desire for developing strategic collaboration among Christian school leaders in Europe and beyond. The ACSI Europe office has hosted IELC every 2 years since 2015 for participants from more than 30 countries! We are blessed to be able to work together for the promotion of quality Christ-centered education together while we grow in our capacity to educate with quality and from a biblical worldview.
The theme for this year is "Strategic Initiatives for School Improvement" and will highlight Dr. Larry Taylor, ACSI President, Dr. Wolfgang Stock, CEO of VEBS, as well as other highly qualified speakers and school leaders in the live virtual sessions and workshops. Most important will be the opportunity to connect deeply with school leaders from across Europe and many other countries through online discussions as well as forums on topics of interest to you. This year we are also partnering with ECCEN for this event with a sub-theme of "The Position of Christian Schools in Modern Society". Our planning is being done cooperatively to provide the most benefit for you and your school.
The announcement of our new Christian School Improvement Platform during IELC will allow all conference participants trial access to this amazing new tool for self-assessment and strategic planning in collaboration with our network of Christian schools. Don't miss out! You can find more information and register on our event page: acsieurope.org/ielc

SLC report 2025
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and blessings poured out during the ACSI Student Leadership Conferences (SLC) this year! These gatherings brought together students and chaperones from 47 schools across Europe for a time of worship, discipleship, and leadership growth centered on the theme “Leaders Who Love Truth.”
Strengthening Critical Thinking
Christian schools are often intentional about teaching worldview and preparing students to engage with competing ideas. Yet the way we structure this engagement can either nurture deep critical thinking or unintentionally foster shallow habits of argument. Here are some practical tools to support critial thinking in the classroom.
Education as a Restoration of Hope
Today we turn to the good news: God’s plan of restoration through Christ. This is not only a personal hope but also a framework for how we think about education, leadership, and the shaping of society. How can we build meaningful outcomes into the process of teaching and learning which truly reflect the hope we have in Christ?
