Every year, Christian school leaders gather in Banff to learn from exceptional speakers, connect with trusted peers, and step away from the demands of the school year for a time of renewed perspective.
The Stronger Together Summit combines outstanding keynote speakers and practical learning with meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and encouragement from peers across Western Canada. Together, these experiences strengthen leaders for the work of shaping schools where students can know, love, and follow Jesus.
The Stronger Together Summit is the only annual ACSI Western Canada gathering that brings together leaders from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
While each school serves a unique community and pursues a distinct mission, we share a common commitment to Christian education and a common desire to see students know, love, and follow Jesus.
One of the unique gifts of this gathering is the opportunity to hear stories from across Western Canada. As leaders celebrate God’s faithfulness, learn from one another’s experiences, and encourage one another through shared challenges, they are reminded that they are part of something larger than their own school.
The summit strengthens not only individual leaders, but also the relationships, trust, and shared identity that make Christian education a movement rather than simply a collection of schools.
Together, we celebrate what God is doing across our region and encourage one another in the important work of shaping schools where students can know, love, and follow Jesus.
