European Student Convention

The European Student Convention (ESC) is an amazing, once-a-year opportunity for students who use the ACE curriculum. 


More than anything, it is a place for ACE students to belong.

 

This senior convention is for young people 12 years of age and older, with a junior convention for 9 - 12 year olds. Students compete against each other in a number of events including Art, Photography, Drama, Music, Sport & Athletics, Academics and Bible Memory.

 

ESC will be held at Cefn Lea in mid-Wales, a beautiful setting where young people have the opportunity of a lifetime to develop their gifts & talents, all to God’s glory!

1st - 5th June 2026
