Converge Global Leadership Conference & Study Tour
Converge Global Leadership Conference & Study Tour

Amidst global challenges, Christian educators from across the world will explore how schools can lead courageously in their communities, all from the hope we find in Christ. Christian educators from around the world will come together in February 2025 for Converge 2025, a global gathering of Christian education leaders (formerly known as the Global Christian School Leadership Summit, or GCSLS) to be held in Orlando, Florida.

The prayer of all those planning Converge 2025 is that it would be a time of en-couragement—literally, “to put courage in”—for the Christian school movement worldwide, in keeping with the apostle Paul’s instructions in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.”

A team from CSA will be attending this event and organising a pre-conference study tour. Learn more about this study tour and express your interest, below.
Please note the study tour is now full.
