Our Catholic School Community is Growing — Here’s How We’re Getting Ready
We’re proud to share that the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) was recently spotlighted on CBC Radio’s All in a Day with Alan Neal. In the segment, outgoing Director of Education Tom D’Amico shares how we’re preparing for the future — and what our growing community means for students and families.
Welcoming More Families Than Ever
With enrolment expected to rise by more than 2,000 students in the 2025–2026 school year, the OCSB continues to be a destination for families seeking faith-filled, future-ready education. This growth is a testament to the trust our community places in Catholic education — and our commitment to nurturing every student’s potential.
A Budget That Puts Students First
In the interview, Tom D’Amico explains how our balanced $803.5 million budget is designed to support this growth with care and intention. From expanding classroom supports and skilled trades programs to investing in outdoor learning and responsible technology use, we’re focused on what students need to thrive — today and tomorrow.
