Why is your partnership with the ACSI family essential to Christian education?

We are stronger together, as our schools are connected to a global network of like-minded schools, leaders and educators who share ideas, innovation, and inspiration. We equip our schools with the resources and services they need to improve and flourish. Our team combines proven methods and best practices in education with a Kingdom Worldview, ensuring high academic standards and a commitment to Christian principles.

And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Matthew 4:19

Testimonials

"Our first experience of ACSI was a visit from Erith Budge to explain the benefits of membership with ACSI. The two phrases I remember from that visit are: “at ACSI we are all family”, and “we pray for all our member schools”. We were welcomed into the ACSI fold, and in God’s providence, it’s one of the foundational decisions that has kept Trinity’s doors open through the many challenges that can beset a pioneer school.
The levels of support we receive from ACSI are so diverse and multi-faceted that space does not allow me to itemize them all: from informal mentoring via conversations and phone calls with ACSI leadership (sometimes on weekends when crisis has loomed) to the provision of every kind of policy; from teacher training and workshops to vital updates from the DBE and WCED, we have been strengthened and supported at every turn by our brothers and sisters in Christ.
As a novice principal, I have had many occasions to phone Erith with what seemed to be the challenge to end all challenges. Only to have him open his figurative filing cabinet of stories and share with me the wisdom gleaned from his own experiences. What encouragement and guidance we have received!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, we attended the National Principals’ Conference in May this year. This is where my eyes were opened to the fact that we are nestled not only in a prayerful and committed network of support at a local level but draw on cutting edge support from around the globe through the work of ACSI international.
All this has served to underline the fact that ACSI is indeed like family, and under God, are being used to flourish the cause of Christian education in Cape Town, Southern Africa, indeed – around the world! Soli Deo gloria!"

"ACSI has a tremendous impact in our school. It gives us the backbone and security that we need to be sustainable and to impact our community. The relationship we have with those at ACSI is the core value of our partnership. We honour, love and appreciate you. "

"This was my first ACSI conference and I was blown away by the workshops and the presentation. It was wonderful to see real men and women of God taking the time to share such relevant and personal experiences and information with us to help to improve our skills as teachers. It was very hard to choose a workshop because so many of the topics seemed to be interesting and beneficial. Thank you. I’m so glad I came."
