Under the leadership of Dr. Djita, ACSI has expanded its research initiatives to better understand trends across its international network in North America, Latin America, Africa, Europe, South Asia, East Asia and Asia Pacific. His recent works examine the impact of education policy on equity and access, the role of student expectations and non-cognitive skills in college success, and the influence of family practices on children’s faith development. Additional projects explore how Christian schools are adopting and perceiving emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to improve learning and operational effectiveness. His research projects are both quantitative (descriptive and causal in nature) and qualitative, as he believes in both approaches to answering different research questions.
The research of Dr. Djita [https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=s7TxAFEAAAAJ&hl=id] is published in leading international journals such as Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Economics of Education Review, Gifted Child Quarterly, Journal of Religious Education, Journal of Advanced Academics and Christian Higher Education. Collectively, these works contribute to a growing body of evidence that informs both policy and practice across ACSI’s global network of Christian schools.
“Research allows us to understand not only the outcomes, but also the purpose,” says Dr. Rian Djita, research director at ACSI. “By combining rigorous data with a faith-informed perspective, we aim to strengthen Christian education worldwide and equip schools to serve students more effectively.”
Dr. Djita, a former Fullbright Scholar from Indonesia and a 2023 Emerging Education Policy Scholar recognized by the American Enterprise Institute, has also shared his findings at major international gatherings, including Converge 2025 – the world’s largest Christian education conference with participants from more than 20 countries. Under his leadership, ACSI continues to connect global research with practical strategies that help schools turn insight into impact.
