Announcements - Western Division
This year’s Flourishing Schools Retreat & Roundtable will focus on the Relationships Domain of ACSI’s Flourishing Schools Model—a cornerstone of school culture, community health, and mission alignment. Research affirms that flourishing schools are built on Christ-centered relationships that cultivate trust, belonging, and shared purpose across every layer of the school community.
The 2026 theme—Leading Through Relationships: A Flourishing Deeper Experience—will explore three interrelated constructs within this domain:
Flourishing Families – nurturing authentic, grace-filled partnerships between home and school.
Supportive Leadership – creating environments where leaders and teams are encouraged, equipped, and sustained through mutual care and trust.
Interdependent Leadership – strengthening collaboration and alignment among boards, heads of school, and leadership teams, recognizing that healthy governance and communication are essential to long-term flourishing.
