Ottawa Private Schools

Canada's capital city offers many excellent private education alternatives

For parents interested in acquiring a private education for their children there are few places in Canada that can offer more than the nation's capital city of Ottawa, Ontario. A list of prestigious private schools in Canada would not be complete without names like Ashbury College, Elmwood School or the Lycèe Claudel School. Many of Canada's leaders past and present are among the graduates of these prestigious institutions.

See below for Our Kids' listings of private schools in Ottawa.

You can also meet some of Ottawa's private schools at private school expos held in Montreal and Toronto.

Choosing a private school in Ottawa

When considering Ottawa's private schools, make sure that you think about factors beyond just tuition rates. Schools located throughout the Ottawa area can provide different benefits. For example, schools closer to downtown Ottawa afford students the opportunity to witness government in action on a day to day basis while parliament is in session.

Many parents like to consult rankings of the Fraser Institute in determining a good private school - and these can offer you some insightful information. However, Our Kids encourages you to weigh the Institute's rankings against your own values and the needs of your child. The Fraser Institute uses its own value criteria (narrowed on academics and current evaluations) and you should never choose a private school based solely the opinions of others.

Just as Ottawa offers a richly diverse multicultural experience in so many of its amenities and activities, so it goes with local private schools.

Ottawa offers a variety of French language schools, of course. In addition, there is a rich variety of private school philosophies and religious affiliations to choose from including several Christian schools, Montessori schools, Muslim or Jewish schools, Waldorf Schools and even a virtual private school based in Ottawa.

For private school graduates wishing to remain in the Ottawa area, there are two excellent universities in the city: University of Ottawa and Carleton U.
