This year, the Ottawa Catholic School Board is celebrating a landmark achievement welcoming our 50,000th student. This is more than just a number; it's a testament to the trust our families place in our schools and the vibrant community we're building together. Each student and family who joins us strengthens the story we're creating as a Catholic school board dedicated to faith, Deep Learning, and a sense of belonging.
Guided by Our Leadership and Supported by Our Community
Under the steady guidance of our Trustees, Director of Education Tom D'Amico, and our Executive Team, OCSB has grown into a school board that balances excellence in education with a heart for the community. Their leadership is vital in ensuring that our schools are places where children from kindergarten through Grade 12 can grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally, with faith as the foundation of their journey.

Celebrating Deep Learning: Learning with Purpose
