Niagara Christian Community of Schools (NCC, formerly known as Niagara Christian Collegiate) is a private school located on the Niagara River just outside Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. The school was founded in 1932 by the Brethren in Christ Church, an Anabaptist denomination that emerged from the Radical Pietistic movement. 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 enrolment of 270 students from grades 6–12.

Approximately half of NCC students are international students, representing over 15 different countries, including the Brazil, China, Ghana, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Rwanda, Taiwan, Tunisia, UK, and the United States. Sixty percent of the students live in four modern residences on campus.
