NCC Mission Statement: In an international community of schools,
to educate students with excellence in a family-like setting, equipping them to
live the Christian lifestyle, and empowering them to make a difference in the
world.
Niagara Christian Community of Schools (Formerly known as Niagara Christian
Collegiate) is an independent, non-denominational Christian school located on
the beautiful Niagara River, near Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. NCC has a rich
heritage and tradition, educating students with excellence since 1932. NCC
prepares students for life centered around strong values and a commitment to
family, community, church and the world around them. The moment you step onto
the campus you will feel the safe, caring, nurturing environment where students
thrive.
NCC Secondary School (Grade 9 to 12/Pre-university) has celebrated its 75th year
as an educational leader in Canada. The diverse international student body from
18 countries enhances the unique and stimulating learning atmosphere. NCC
Secondary School is home to local Canadians as either day or residential program
students. International students are welcomed to the NCC family as participants
in the residential program, enjoying residences on the campus and excellent
homestay placements.
NCC Middle School (Grade 7 and 8) offers incredible opportunities for personal
development in a unique and innovative environment. Local Canadians attend as
day students, and a limited number of international students reside with
specially chosen and matched homestay families. The rigorous academic program is
taught by energetic and enthusiastic teachers who utilize the Ontario Curriculum
to encourage students to enjoy success to their full potential.
NCC Elementary School (JK to Grade 6) opened its doors in September 2006 to
local Canadian students. Rigorous literacy and math programs, taught by
passionate and loving teachers, exceed Ontario Ministry guidelines. The safe and
no-threatening environment strengthens confidence, while instilling strong
morals and ethics during the earliest years of education. |
