History
In 1981, Rabbi Reuven Bulka brought a Jewish educational program from Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim to Machzikei Hadas synagogue. In 1982, this was followed by Rabbis Yisroel Morgenstern and Yaakov Deitsch of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim, opening a Yeshiva High School for boys and establishing OTI as Ottawa's first full-time Jewish high school for boys. The school was later run by the team of Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Harris (from 2013 to 2019) and Rabbi Dovid Mandel (from 2013 - 2018).
