We are "an intentional Christian community preparing people for lifelong spiritual growth, witness, and service." We long to see students know God more intimately, love Him more deeply, and serve Him more faithfully. Each part of the CLBI experience is intentionally designed to nurture students and their spiritual formation, centred around the cross of Christ, and the Gospel by which we have been saved. Everything we do, whether academic, social, devotional, or otherwise, is meant to lead students and staff toward growth in the knowledge, love, and likeness of Jesus; graciously formed by God's Word and Spirit.

Students with Special Dietary Needs:
Please inquire with the Director of Admissions upon application to determine if CLBI is able to accomodate your needs.
​
CLBI reserves the right to charge additional fees for special dietary needs and may request a physician's note regarding the health conditions that necesitate the diet.
​
For example, students requiring a gluten free diet will be charged an additional $300 per semester.
payment options
It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for the payment of their fees. Students awaiting student loans, bursaries or scholarships must arrange personal interim financing until these funds are available.
​
Option #1
-
Pay all fees for the full year on registration day and receive a $75.00 discount.
Option #2
-
Pay all fees for each semester in full by the due dates.
-
Semester 1 due on registration day
-
Semester 2 due on first day of classes in January
-
-
Outstanding balances after these dates are subject to 1.5 % interest, charged monthly where a payment plan is not in place.
Option #3
-
50% of each semester must be paid by the due dates above. The remainder may be paid with monthly post-dated cheques or preauthorized debits. There is a financing fee of $10.00/cheque for this service.
-
Each semester must be paid in full by the beginning of the last month of the semester. (i.e. December 1 and April 1)
​
If a payment plan is not in place by September 30, the student may be asked to leave.
If there is an outstanding balance remaining for Semester 1 on December 1 the student will not be able to return for Semester 2.
Any student with an outstanding balance will not be allowed to participate in graduation exercises. Diplomas/transcripts will not be released until all fees are paid.
There will be a $20.00 charge on any returned cheques. This will also result in interest being charged on the unpaid balance.
refunding of fees
Any student who withdraws or is dismissed will be charged board and room for the week in which the withdrawal or dismissal takes place. Board and room fees due to the student will be refunded at the rate of 90% of the prorated charge after all financial obligations and withdrawal procedures have been met.
Students who withdraw will have their tuition fees, activity fee and general fee reassessed according to the following table: (The application and registration fees are nonrefundable.)
​
Refund per semester:
-
Within 48 hours of registration day 100%
-
Remainder of first week 90%
-
Second week 80%
-
Third week 70%
-
Fourth week 50%
-
Fifth week 30%
-
Sixth week 0%
Students who are dismissed will not have any tuition fees or activity fees refunded.
The yearbook fee may be refunded if the student terminates prior to the beginning of the second semester, but not later.
The refund is calculated according to the above table, based on the date that the official fully completed withdrawal form, bearing the signatures of the necessary school officials, is received by the business office.
Special cases may be dealt with on their merits by administration, and may be referred to the Executive Committee of the Board for recommendation.
