Abstract
This study was designed to understand how ACSI certified Christian School leaders in Arizona lead their schools. There are a variety of leadership models available. Servant leadership, being a fairly recent phenomenon has been studied and implemented by numerous organizations and leaders with great organizational success and buy in. One area of servant leadership research which still needs development is whether or not ACSI certified Christian School leaders are employing servant leadership principles. By using qualitative metrics and using narrative-based interviews of Christian School leaders coupled with already established research parameters of servant leadership as outlined by Page and Wong (2003), this study analyzed whether or not servant leadership is guiding and directing the acting administrators in Arizona ACSI certified schools. Each interview was recorded and transcribed to look for key words and concepts understood in servant leadership models. This study focused on current administrators serving in K-12 schools across the state of Arizona. With analyzing interview transcripts and discovering patterns that emerge a better understanding emerged as to how ACSI Christian School leaders lead their respective school environments.
