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

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 2
Survey insights reveal that while Christian schools across Europe hold strong mission convictions, sustaining alignment in daily practice requires intentional leadership structures. This article explores key needs such as teacher formation, mission-informed decision making, and regular rhythms of strategic reflection.
Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 1
At IELC 2026, school leaders from across Europe participated in a short survey designed to explore a simple but important question: How closely do our daily practices reflect the Christian mission we profess? The responses provided a valuable snapshot of the current reality in many European Christian schools. Several clear themes emerged that are worth continued reflection and demand that we work together to strengthen our schools and their impact across our region.
Course Offering - Foundations of leadership
In this 8-week journey, Christian school leaders will explore how to unite biblical truth with practical leadership.
