Ottawa Modern Jewish School is a contemporary Hebrew school which provides a stimulating, enjoyable and high quality Jewish education. OMJS is a secular Jewish school inclusive of all elements of Jewish society, a school which recognizes the principle of individual choice. Our school is not affiliated with any synagogue or branch of Judaism, so all are welcome to attend.
Our graduates have become successful educators, volunteers, and professionals at all levels in the Jewish and local communities. We emphasize in the curriculum the teaching of Modern Hebrew and contemporary Jewish issues without denying the links of the modern to the historical past. Our students learn to love and appreciate their rich and complex heritage and become proud members of the Jewish community.
Our Mission:
To offer a Jewish education aimed at connecting children with their Jewish roots and cultural heritage, and an opportunity for families to strengthen their ties to the Ottawa Jewish community.
Our Vision:
That children who attend our school will deepen their understanding and knowledge of their Jewish heritage, and those families will feel more connected to the larger Jewish community.

Welcome to all returning and new families to our OMJS community. I just have a few pieces of information that I hope will not take you more than the time it takes to toast a bagel spread with butter and cream cheese and perhaps look for a clean plate to put it on which usually means wiping off with your hand the dish that looks cleanest from the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I know from what I speak. |
