Register as an OCDSB Student

If you are not a registered OCDSB student, the OCDSB's Step-by-Step website guides families through the process of registration and will, based on the selected criteria, identify your designated home school. Once you have submitted the verifying forms/documents, an Office Administrator will arrange a virtual/in-person meeting with your home school's Vice Principal and Guidance Counsellor who will register you for classes and tell you what happens next.

For current OCDSB Students:

If CB is your designated home School...

You will find information about our course offerings on the Courses page and information about specialized programs we offer (including the IB Program) on the Programs page. If you have additional questions about attending CB, please to contact our Main Office @ (613) 745-9411 or via email, colonelby@ocdsb.ca.

If CB is NOT your designated home School...

Cross boundary transfer requests allow students/families to make a case for attending CB despite having another designated home school. More information about the cross boundary request process, including submission deadlines, is available on the OCDSB Student Transfer website.
