In order to attend an OCDSB school whose boundary you do not live in, you must first apply for a Student Transfer. Families requesting transfers should first register at their child's designated OCDSB school and apply for a transfer Jan 31 - Feb 11, 2022. Please review the Student Transfer Guide in the OCDSB Parent Portal for information.

All decisions about student transportation are made by the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA). Please use the Can I Ride a Bus? tool on their website to see if you are eligible for transportation.

Students can start earning Community Involvement Hours the day after they graduate from Grade 8. We recommend that students complete their compulsory 40 hours the summer before starting Grade 9.

Lisgar CI currently does not offer an ESL program; however, we do offer support to English Language Learners. We also work closely with Glebe CI and Gloucester CI, both of which offer ESL programs, to help transition students from ESL to their home school once they have completed level ESL Level 4.
