Winter is a great time for playing in the outdoors, winter sports, enjoying relaxing activities and warming up with some hot chocolate. However, it’s important to take safety precautions and know what to expect of Canadian winters. That is why we put together a helpful list of tips so that you can enjoy winter safely!

High school at the Ottawa Catholic School Board is all about preparing students to thrive as their future-self. All of our high schools combine faith-based education and values with academic success and extracurricular activities, but they each have something unique to offer. View our high school profiles to learn more about each school…

At the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB), we believe faith is a critical part of a well-rounded education. That’s why faith is at the heart of everything we do. Inspired and led by Catholic values, our approach to educating your child is inclusive, honouring the dignity of every child and respecting all faiths.
While providing a distinctly Catholic education, students at OCSB schools will learn all about World Religions and Philosophy. We help them to develop their understanding of different views, ideas and concepts, in an environment where children learn to show respect to those who may think differently from them.

The High School Academic Handbook is a comprehensive guide for parents and students to help choose their high school courses. We walk you through everything in great detail from explaining types of courses, what you need to graduate or earn special designations at graduation, to outlining alternative ways your child can earn credits.

The Ottawa Catholic School Board is committed to the health and safety of our students, host families, schools and communities. As we have altered our travel and arrival protocols, please take some time to review the information in this package.
