Staff 2024-25

Ottawa Christian School staff members are dedicated to their personal faith in Jesus Christ. Our teachers all have a provincial teaching certificate or equivalent and are required to have the Christian School Teacher’s Certificate or be working towards it. Teachers who are members of the Ontario College of Teachers are teachers in good standing. It is an honour and privilege to work with our students integrating faith and learning.
