Strategic Commitments and Plans
The Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Strategic Commitments and Spiritual Theme act as a foundation for how we live out our vision and mission. Be Community, Be Well and Be Innovative are our three commitments that celebrate our corporate priorities as a school board until 2025.
Embracing diversity and inclusion while promoting equity, we are guided by faith-based Catholic social teachings and learning partnerships that create safe and welcoming places for all.
Honouring the dignity of every person, we care for and support the well-being of all.
We foster innovation to create Deep Learning so that all can realize their potential.

OCSB Strategic Plan
OCSB Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Plan provides a vision for the Board by establishing strategic direction, emphasizing equity and well-being. Operational plans, such as the Board Improvement and Equity Plan, flow out of the Strategic Plan. These documents outline our priorities and goals for performance measures, evidence gathering methods and targets for improvement. School boards must post their Student Achievement Plans showing the Board’s progress toward the Ontario Ministry of Education priorities. The OCSB Student Achievement Plan (SAP) can be found online for easy access.
Spiritual Theme at the OCSB
In the Ottawa Catholic School Board community, a Spiritual Theme unites all members of the community as people of faith. These themes encourage us all to go deeper in applying the messages of God’s Word to our lives.

Year One: We Are Called to Open Doors
Opening doors symbolizes hospitality, breaking barriers, and welcoming change, reflecting Christ’s call to open spaces for transformation. This year, we focus on recognizing and valuing the gifts of those we encounter, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and mutual respect. The opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica by Pope Francis on Christmas Eve 2024 will mark the beginning of the Jubilee Year, serving as a powerful opportunity to unite our community with pilgrims of hope around the globe embracing new beginnings with open hearts and minds.
Year Two: We Are Called to Build Bridges
Building bridges means creating connections and fostering unity. This year, we aim to become living bridges that unite diverse communities and traditions through gestures of solidarity, reconciliation, and social friendship, echoing Pope Francis’ notion that building bridges is intrinsic to the Christian vocation.
Year Three: We Are Called to Nourish New Beginnings
After opening doors and building bridges, we nurture new opportunities for growth and renewal and sustain them through community and shared responsibility. This year emphasizes fostering a sense of belonging where every person’s contribution is valued and celebrated, paving new paths for the future.
“May we work together for unity in our communities, opening doors and building bridges in place of walls.”
Pope Leo XIV
