ACSI Zimbabwe is excited to confirm applications for Cohort 3 for the Teacher Certification Programme are now open. This certification is designed specifically to equip and strengthen teachers in the ‘distinctives’ of Christian education. It is aligned with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Global Core Standards and delivered in partnership with Gateway Christian Teachers’ College (GCTC) in Harare.
Why This Matters
In a world where teachers shape not only minds but also values, this certification empowers educators to:
- Develop a strong biblical worldview that informs every teaching decision.
- Integrate Scripture meaningfully into lesson planning across subjects.
- Create faith-enriched learning environments that point students to Christ.
- Grow spiritually and professionally alongside fellow Christian educators.
This initiative is part of the wider ACSI Africa Teacher Certification Program, a bold vision to equip 1 million Christian teachers across Africa by 2050 in biblical worldview and integration teaching. The first continental cohort recently celebrated its graduation in Harare, marking an important milestone in strengthening Christian education throughout the region.
