Course Overview

ACSI’s Student Leadership Institute (SLi) equips schools to develop servant leaders through a biblically based, year-long program. This educator training provides tools to create a leadership culture, emphasizing spiritual growth, leadership theory, skills, and application. Educators will be empowered to lead their students in impacting their culture for Christ while integrating leadership principles into the fabric of the school.

This online course serves as an alternative to the in-person SLi Educator live training. Although attending a live event is encouraged, this option offers flexibility for those who cannot attend in person.
