Niagara Christian Community of Schools (NCC, formerly known as Niagara Christian Collegiate) is a private school located on the Niagara River just outside of Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. The school was founded in 1932 by the Brethren in Christ Church. The site it is now situated on was bought in 1938. The purchase (included 122 acres (0.49 km2) and Belmont Hall) was for $13 000. The school has since grown and now has an enrollment of 300 students from grades JK-12.
Half of NCC students are international students, representing over 15 different countries, including the Bahamas, Brazil, Cayman Islands, China, El Salvador, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States. 1/3 of the students live in two modern residences on campus.
NCC is a school based on Christianity and giving students an academic advantage.
Famous quotes containing the words niagara, christian, community and/or schools:
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
““My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!
Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats!
Justice! the law! my ducats, and my daughter!””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
