Ottawa's only community Jewish Day School.
OJCS is raising the bar for Jewish education.
The Ottawa Jewish Community School is dedicated to enriching the lives of our students, along with strengthening their character and their love for Israel. Inspired by Jewish values and heritage, a love of learning, and guided by innovative teaching practices, our students reach for their potential to become the leaders of tomorrow and responsible citizens of the world.
As a fully trilingual school, our curriculum combines the teaching and understanding of Judaism and the Hebrew language with the bilingual culture of our nation’s capital city.
Our specialized curriculum is based upon Ontario Ministry guidelines and is further enhanced to provide students with an enriched course of study.
We have a substantive Jewish studies program that includes the new, technology-driven Ulpan Or method of learning the Hebrew language.
We offer a French program that goes beyond the Ontario curriculum and prepares students for French Immersion. It encompasses both Core French and an Extended French program.
The Ottawa Jewish Community School is an all-day, trilingual elementary school that aims to develop academic and personal excellence in our students in an inclusive, caring and pluralistic environment that is based on Jewish religion, culture and values.
