About ACSI
For more than 40 years, ACSI has faithfully lived out its mission around the world:
To strengthen Christian schools and equip Christian educators worldwide as they prepare students academically and inspire them to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Since our founding in 1978, our vision has steadfastly desired that:
ACSI will become a leading international organization that promotes Christian education and provides training and resources to Christian schools and Christian educators.
As our mission continues, ACSI is renewing our commitment to Christian schools and educators to help them deal with today’s challenging times—characterized by seismic cultural shifts and disruption.
Today and into the future we will continue to assist, encourage and develop:
- Schools that contribute to the public good through effective teaching and learning and that are biblically sound, academically rigorous, socially engaged, and culturally relevant; and
- Educators who embody a biblical worldview, engage in transformational teaching and discipling, and embrace personal and professional growth.
Over the past two years, ACSI has diligently sought the Lord's guidance through prayer, and is now positioning everything under three pillars: Advancing, Access and Advocacy.
ADVANCING – Leading Christ-centered education toward excellence and flourishing
ACCESS – Making Christ-centered education available and obtainable
ADVOCACY – Promoting and protecting Christ-centered education for today and tomorrow
This will allow ACSI to be laser-focused on promoting excellence in Kingdom education around the world in the months and years to come.

ACSI and The Colson Center for Christian Worldview Convene Hundreds of Christian School Educators for First-Ever Rooted Educator World Summit
The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is pleased to announce the Rooted Educator Worldview Summit, set for June 24-27, 2024, at the Ridgecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain, NC is sold out. This inaugural event, featuring renowned speakers including John Stonestreet and Dr. Sean McDowell, will equip more than 500 Christian educators to develop a Christlike school culture, facilitate healthy faith formation, and provide tools to engage secular ideology.
ACSI President & CEO Dr. Larry Taylor is looking forward to this event.
"We are thrilled to co-host the Rooted Educator Worldview Summit, an event that empowers Christian educators to integrate faith and learning deeply," he said. "This summit offers a unique opportunity for educators to grow spiritually and professionally, equipping them to impact students' lives and advance the Kingdom of God through education."
Participants will benefit from keynote presentations, panel discussions, and breakout sessions for elementary, secondary, and school leaders. Speakers will cover a variety of topics including Biblical Authority & Application, The Lies of Expressive Individualism vs. Imago Dei, and more.
ACSI Chief of Flourishing Initiatives Cindy Dodds shared why she believes this summit is such a relevant offering for educators.
“In today’s culture, I can’t think of anything more important for educators than being equipped with the understanding and the tools needed to nurture students in their faith formation,” she said. “Our partnership with the Colson Center strengthens the content of the summit and allows us to tackle difficult cultural issues with strong biblical authority. Christian educators will gather by the hundreds to be challenged in their own faith as they navigate these cultural waters for the students they will influence.”
