Property
North Toronto Christian School is situated on a 5-acre (20,000 m2) campus at the intersection of Highway 401 and Highway 404 in the heart of metro Toronto. It occupies a former commercial office building and sports complex with a total of 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) of space on two floors.
In 2010-2011, the building was renovated and expanded in order to accommodate for the elementary school students and staff. The elementary school building was demolished in 2011, as the property was purchased in 2010 and is being made into an area of 21 detached homes and a single street.

Famous quotes containing the word property:
“The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Man was born rich, or inevitably grows rich by the use of his faculties; by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual proposition.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
