About

Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) is a trusted connector and catalyst for student success. In partnership with all publicly funded school boards in Ottawa, we deliver equitable, innovative programs that meet students where they are—from a healthy start to the day, to academic support, to confidence-building with hands-on learning. By uniting partners across sectors, ONFE breaks down barriers and builds brighter futures. Our focus on sustainability, future readiness, and social responsibility drives our vision: an Ottawa where all students thrive.

We fuel students and ignite learning through equitable programming, ensuring every student can grow and thrive.

Our Vision

An Ottawa where all students thrive.

Foundational Principles

These principles are more than aspirations – they are commitments. They shape how we think, how we act, and how we lead. They ensure that no matter the initiative or objective, our work remains grounded in who we are and the future we want to create together.
