Landmark offers you a complete Bible study program, suited to your needs and goals.
INTRODUCING...
We have prepared for you a balanced diet of Bible teaching to meet your spiritual and ministry needs.
The old Bible institute curriculum concentrated on soaking in the Scriptures, becoming saturated with sound doctrine, promises, instruction and warnings from God Himself.
We use a combination of live teaching, courses on audio and video, and accrediting of courses already taken and available elsewhere. We have teachers who appreciate the old Bible institute curriculum, who favour Bible content over human scholarship, and who are totally committed to the inspired, infallible and inerrant Scriptures.
Our study system is unique: each lesson outline is followed by a quiz that is easily completed, emphasizing the basic truths of the lesson. The final quiz, features questions taken from these lesson quizzes. Thus, it is not difficult to earn one credit per course (10 credit points).
In most courses, along with each lesson is an assignment page. This helps the student dig a little deeper, show in his/her own words that the lesson has been understood, and that Biblical thought processes are being established. Those who choose to do these assignments will earn an additional 6 credit points.
BIBLESEARCH is an unique feature of our program. Computers are available at our Learning Centre along with research books for intense Bible study. Our courses feature the King James text, but for research purposes, we use Green's Literal Interlinear Translation of the Bible...what God actually said in the original text. Our computer files are available for home computer use and the books are available for purchase.
We subscribe to the Chicago statement on the Inerrancy of the Scriptures. The Bible does not just CONTAIN God's word, it IS God's word !
We invite you to come to a Bibleschool that does NOT remove the ancient landmarks which our fathers have set (Proverbs 22:28), that asks for the old paths where is the good way (Jeremiah 6:16), and that seeks to be a repairer of the breach, a restorer of paths to dwell in (Isaiah 58:12).
We are geared to the times in which we live...the last days before our Lord returns. Prophecy is a major emphasis (30% of the Bible is prophecy).
Every major Bible training school has stories of humble beginnings, and miracles in the early days. One started in a church basement, using curtains to divide classrooms...the sound of teaching travelling throughout the room. Another started in a farm home with a dozen students. We are grateful to God for His provision for our new school.
It is not often that a person is privileged to be "on the ground floor" of a new teaching ministry, to experience the growing pains and the challenges of following the vision God has given.
We invite you to be a part of this new Bibleschool, as we revive an interest in "the old paths...the good way".
Landmark Bibleschool International is aware that some of our godly, veteran Bible teachers are approaching the gates of glory where eternal rewards await them. We are contacting many of these servants of the Lord, to capture their specialty themes on audio and video, in order to build them into our curriculm. In some cases, we will invite them to our campus, recording as they teach their specialty "live". A great blessing awaits those who take advantage of this aspect of our program !

On the curriculum page you will find our Bibleschool program in diagram form, designed for those who want to enjoy the discipline of a complete Bible-school learning experience...to know the Book from "kiver to kiver".
Courses range from the doctrine of the person of God to soul winning, from prophecy to sermon preparation, from Biblical cosmology in the course "Journey to the Centre of Life" to Christian evidences...and much more.
A Bibleschool year is defined by the completion of 40 credits...either by selected courses, by the standard curriculum or by gaining credits for other courses taken outside our offerings.
Completion of the first year results in the designation "A.B.R.I."--Associate of Bible Research International. The second year of similar credits results in the designation "F.B.R.I."--Fellow of Bible Research International.
Associate and Fellowship programs are a time honoured tradition used by organizations from the Royal Geographic Society to the Insurance Institute of Canada (and many others).
The third year of credits results in the issuing of the B.B.R. degree (Bachelor of Bible Reserch) through Bible Research International's authorization in the state of Indiana.
SPECIAL EVENING CLASSES are open to the public--usually high interest topics, for busy people who can attend cclasses from 7:30 to 9:30p.m.
One of our most blessed courses is "Journey to the Centre of Life"...introducing you to reconciliation theology. It opens up entirely new horizons in practical Biblesearch and witnessing to modern society. The two year M.B.R. (Master of Bible Research) program involves intense research and preparation of papers of witness to every area of society based on this course.
NOTE: Class dates are subject to change. Please phone in advance to confirm dates and times.
Our "Prophecy Track", consists of such courses as:
When a person completes the theme track courses, a certificate is issued. If in the process, 40 credits have been earned (perhaps in combination with previous courses completed, including those taken elsewhere), the student qualifies for the A.B.R.I. designation.
Other theme tracks are available...such as Basic Bible Truths, Evangelism, Pastoral Ministry, Devotional Life, and a special one-year course we call Life Orientation...for those who wish to get their Biblical values set before proceeding to other forms of education. All credits are transferable to other aspects of our program. In fact, a student may select courses from our curriculum, combined with other courses from other sources, and suggest a new "theme track" for our approval.
One caution: just as a person could visit a buffet and select only desserts (not a balanced diet), so a person could select "high interest" courses only, thus missing "essential nutrients". Pray over your selection, and ask us to help you.
In the first year, The Learning Centre will be open from noon till 9 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (the same days Bibleschool courses are taught). By special arrangement, other hours are available. In future years we intend to expand the hours to include mornings as well.
The Learning Centre provides an opportunity to study in privacy and quiet. Our library is also available, including courses on audio and video cassettes (tape players available).
Eventually, the entire Bibleschool curriculum will be available to our "drop-in" students. Our staff is often available to assist the students.
We invite you to stop in on the way home from work for an hour, completing a full credit course in just 12 visits...or take an hour in the evening to visit our Learning Centre. Enjoy our buffet of Bible learning !
All of the courses available at the Learning Centre are also available for study off-premises. You may purchase courses, or check them out on a "lending-library" basis (a deposit is refundable on return of the course).
Courses include notes, quizzes, assignments, final quiz, teaching on audio or video cassettes, all other materials normally distributed in classes, marking and issuing of credits.
Courses are normally ordered in advance, but there are basic courses ready and waiting for you. Study at home, on the way to work...wherever !
Mission field training centres, local church programs and home Bible studies can offer credits while they learn and fellowship together. We have special rates for group study, and issue the same credits as if the classes were taken on our campus. Satellite schools may be established by duplicating our Learning Centre.
Our video courses are not Hollywood productions; we have chosen not to put our money into high-tech equipment and expensive editing. Our tapes are intended to communicate truth to those eager to learn. We are not in the business of "entertaining the troops".
Those who wish to teach one of our courses "live", and to have their students get credit for the course, must first have successfully completed the course themselves with a high score of 90+, have received a credit issued from Landmark Bibleschool for the course being taught and teach from the teaching notes. Pastors will find this time well spent as they both learn and prepare a series for preaching/teaching at the same time...with their congregation having the added advantage of gaining credits as they attend.
Special group rates are available that include arrangements for marking and issuing credits.
HOW DO I JOIN UP ?
Group study or satellite schools are the same rate as above for the first student and are $1.50 per student per lesson taken for credit.
Our teaching classrooms and Learning Centre are located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada...halfway between Toronto and London. You can find us at 156 Bedford Road. It is best to call to arrange an appointment.
What is the class schedule ? Evening classes begin at 7:30 pm. Classes are 45 minutes
in length, including time to complete and correct the quizzes. There is a 15 minute break between classes (coffee is available). The second class of the evening begins at 8:30 pm and is complete by 9:15 pm.
How do I enrol ? Just phone (519) 623-7000, or toll free at 888-835-7007 anywhere in Canada or the U.S.A. and tell us (a) your name and phone number, and (b) the course(s) you wish to take. Registration forms will be distributed at the first class of each course.
You may write to us at Landmark Bibleschool International, Box 7, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada N1R 6C7.
We would like to hear from potential students as well as volunteers; perhaps volunteers will make it possible for us to reach our goal of adding morning hours at the Learning Centre so people can stop in on their way to work to start the day with Bible learning.
As with all schools at their beginning, we are in need of donations...seed money...to plant the school, water and nurture it, to see it become a blessing to many eager students, and to thousands more through their ministry. Receipts for tax purposes in both Canada and the U.S.A. are available. We have a list of needed equipment for those who would like to designate their gift and arrange an acknowledgement to be placed on the item in their own name or in memory of a loved one.
Below, you will see in chart form the manner in which you can complete studies in specialized fields of interest. These are offered so that students can select a theme that is of greatest interest or of most immediate benefit to their own Christian life and service.
