Before Alisa Childers gained notoriety with the Dove Award-winning band ZOEgirl, she fell in love with Christian education as a student. From walking into her Christian preschool for the first time, to the memory verses she still remembers from first grade, all the way to graduating from a Christian high school, Childers is a strong advocate of Christian schools.
The news was devastating. Fires were spreading across the Los Angeles metropolitan area, leaving in their wake immense destruction and loss. The Resurrection Christian School community in Loveland, CO, immediately joined together in prayer. They collectively brainstormed ways they could help. “Each year, our elementary students participate in a Penny War, where they collect coins by class and we donate the proceeds to a specific cause,” said Inta Hand, Elementary Assistant Principal at Resurrection Christian School.
It did not take long for Schools United to see its vision for building camaraderie between Christian educators to come true and then far exceed it. What began in 2018 as an informal gathering of Christian school leaders in South Florida has developed into a robust organization that connects Christian school professionals across the United States—and soon: beyond.

ACSI's Foundational 3 Pillars
Advancing
Leading Christ-centered education toward excellence and flourishing
We want all schools to aspire to, achieve, and remain committed to a biblically-based philosophy of education, standards that are measurable, and flourishing-related criteria. ACSI strives to lead, support, and serve Christian schools, and educators, by placing them on a path of growth and flourishing using the research-based Flourishing Schools Initiative. This model should link leadership and faculty professional development accreditation, and every culture-driving component of a school. A common philosophy, and a flourishing-based metric, would unify our efforts of advancing Christian schools and educators.
