Welcome to a new school year at the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB)! Whether your child is returning or beginning their educational journey with us for the first time, we are grateful to have you as part of the OCSB community.
Our schools are ready to welcome students back with open doors, safe and caring spaces, and plenty of excitement for the year ahead. As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, we also enter the next chapter of our three-year Spiritual Theme: We are called to Nourish New Beginnings. By nurturing opportunities for growth and renewal, supporting one another through community and shared responsibility, and continuing to build a sense of belonging where every person’s contribution is valued and celebrated.
