Safety:

 Safety is a high priority at CLCS. Students have secure indoor lockers and staff or faculty supervises all school sponsored activities. At CLCS, the three entrances to the building are constantly monitored and all visitors must check in and receive a visitor’s badge before entering student areas.

Discipline:

 We are dedicated to developing Christian leaders. Students are expected to behave on and off campus in a manner that is consistent with the highest principles of Christian faith and practice. This includes the language they use to correspond with their friends. We are in a world that has lost regard for pure and moral speech. We believe that as Christians we are to be different from the world and our speech is to reflect that. Students who use ungodly speech in any forum, (notes, e-mails, phone calls, facebook, spoken, etc.) will be dealt with. Teachers issue detentions for students displaying inappropriate classroom behavior, and the principal determines further disciplinary action (according to the disciplinary procedures as outlined in the student handbook). Each student /family receives a handbook upon enrollment. There is also a separate handbook for the ICEM international student program that the students are required to read and obey. The goal of our discipline is to teach and restore.
