Feller College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Feller College, also known as Institut Feller, was a boarding school and a Bible college located in Grande-Ligne (now Saint-Blaise-sur-Richelieu) which closed its doors in 1967.
It was founded in 1836 by Henriette Feller of Lausanne, a Swiss Protestant missionary, in the small farming community of Grande-Ligne, 35 miles southeast of Montreal, Quebec).[1][2] It grew to become a significant co-educational institution with imposing four-story central building and adjoining church, farm, and several faculty homes. In 1849, the mission and the school became partners with the Canadian Baptist Missionary Society.[3] The school produced many French-speaking Baptist ministers, and many of its graduates, both francophones and anglophones, went on to become well known in diverse fields in Canada.
