1. Student Leadership Conference

Our annual Student Leadership Conference is an international event for ACSI member schools that takes place in Hungary in late September and early October. This is a unique opportunity for high school students to grow in their faith and in their leadership skills, and to fellowship and worship together with like-minded young people from many nations. You can find detailed information and the registration link from our Student Conferences page. Registration opens on March 1st each year.

Who can attend?

SLC is open for ACSI member schools only. Space may be limited so early registration is advisable.

We invite students from 13-18 years of age who are open to a relationship with Christ and have leadership potential. This is an English language conference, so participants must speak English at least at a conversational level. Schools must also provide at least one English speaking adult chaperone to accompany the students. The chaperone is responsible for the safety, well-being and conduct of the students while serving to interact directly with and support the students in their understanding of the teaching and its application for their school context. The chaperone also serves as the contact person who prepares the group for the conference and guides the students as they return to implement their action plan. Knowledge of English is ESSENTIAL!

It is very important to begin your student selection well in advance to effectively prepare the group for the conference.

Registration fees cover lodging, food and conference materials. Participants must arrange and pay for their own travel.

2. Cross-cultural ministry and service trips

ACSI Europe promotes cross-cultural ministry opportunities that deepen the faith and Christian life experiences of students. New strategies are continually being implemented to give students meaningful ministry experiences and opportunities to live out their faith. Much of this happens in the context of school partnerships where schools can support each other and join in ministry to their local communities.

3. Student leadership training program

ACSI Europe provides schools with training and resource options that compliment the Student Leadership Conference. Students need opportunities to grow and serve their peers or communities with the support of a mentor or leader who can guide them in positions of responsibility and impact. ACSI staff are also available to consult with member schools who participate in our SLC program. 

4. Lectures and training for students

During school visits, ACSI speakers are happy to address students with topics on faith, character development and leadership. Some presentations are available on our YouTube or Vimeo channels.

 

 
 

Recognizing the Problem of Sin

The foundational, yet often overlooked, reality is the way sin impacts both teaching and learning. As school leaders, we cannot view education merely as the transfer of knowledge or the development of skills. Education is always moral and spiritual, shaped either by truth that comes from God or by distortions introduced by sin.

ACSI Europe Online Prayer

Join Christian school leaders from across the Europe region for a time of prayer, fellowship and encouragement. This group meets on Zoom the 2nd Thursday each month at 13:00 CET to focus our attention on God's presence and provision for His work through global Christian education.

Education as an Affirmation of Identity

Here we explore one of the most pressing issues facing Christian schools today: how we understand and communicate identity and purpose. Our role as school leaders is to help students discover who they are and why they are here, according to God’s Word, and to ensure that our school culture and curriculum reflect this foundational truth.

Rediscovering the Glory of God through Education

We live in a universe crafted by the Word of God. This foundation invites us to view education not as man’s attempt to impose meaning, but as an invitation to uncover the meaning already embedded in creation—Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
