Association of Christian Schools International
ACSI Uganda continues to deliver quality awareness through its wide range of services as potrayed below:
The Association of Christian Schools International Board of Directors announced today the appointment of Dr. Larry Taylor as the ministry’s new President and CEO. Board members made the unanimous decision after a global search that began late last year, led by Carter Baldwin, a leading international retained executive search firm.
For more than 30 years Dr. Taylor has been involved in advancing Kingdom education beyond the walls of PCA—in Cuba, Nigeria, Uganda, and through the Kingdom School Institute in Dallas, Texas, a summer training program for Christian school leaders. Over the past 17 years the Institute has trained school leaders from around the globe, such as Nigeria, Uganda, Cuba, Guatemala, India, Australia, Philippines, South Korea, and several other regions of the world.
“Larry Taylor is the right person to lead this organization into the future,” said incoming ACSI Board Chair Robert “Bo” Gutzwiller. “His leadership at Prestonwood, coupled with his heart for advancing Christian Education, make him the ideal choice for this critical role.”
“My heart is full these days as I anticipate joining the ACSI team and giving myself fully to the cause of strengthening Christian schools and equipping Christian educators around the world.” Dr. Taylor said, “As I look back on my life experiences, I can see how God has been leading, stirring and preparing me for this role.”
Dr. Taylor has traveled extensively with Michael Epp, Vice President ACSI Global and participated in training conferences in Nigeria, Uganda, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific Roundtable. He has also partnered with ACSI Latin America, Stuart Salazar, and ACSI Caribbean, Lester Flaquer to advance the strategic plan for Cuba.
