Ontario Federation of Independent Schools

What is OFIS? The Ontario Federation of Independent Schools (OFIS) is a legally incorporated, duly constituted association of non-sectarian schools, religious schools and home-schools, established in 1974. It exists because – “parents have a prior right to freely choose the kind of education that shall be given to their child”  (1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

 
OFIS Believes That Independent Schools…

• produce responsible citizens and productive members of society in the province of Ontario
• should be legally and publicly recognized as quality educational choices in the province of Ontario
• should meet or exceed the standards of the Ontario curriculum
• should remain autonomous with respect to hiring, admissions and governance standards
• are entitled to financial support since the Ontario government is obligated to provide for the education of EVERY child in the province
