Greetings from Convoy International Secondary Academy (CISA)

My name is Bram Mathew and I am the principal at Convoy Academy. Previously, I worked as a vice principal at two private high schools in Mississauga, Ontario. I have twelve years of teaching experience at the university, college and high school levels. And, I hold two Master’s degrees and a B.A. (Hons.) and I am a published author.

I have always had a fervent interest in education and giving back to the community. In addition to teaching, I have sat on a church council which was affiliated with a number of charities in the Greater Toronto Area. Being an integral part of the local community is another priority I have aimed to fulfill and I like to encourage my students to do the same. By giving back to society, this can build character and confidence in our students, which develops their skills for the future. And, through contributing to the community, students can gain an appreciation for helping others in need.

I was born in Ottawa, Ontario and my father is from India while my mother is from Singapore. We have many international students at Convoy, and I myself was an international student while studying in Manchester, England and Aberdeen, Scotland. Therefore, I can empathize with the experiences of living and studying in a different country. Studying in a new country can be a daunting task, but at Convoy, we ease the transition of studying in a different setting.

My vision for Convoy is for it to grow and expand, and to enable students to realize their potential and become productive individuals. We aspire to facilitate the educational journey for our students. Canada’s education system is one of the best in the world, and Convoy can be a step in the path of studying at institutions of higher learning. Also, our school shapes our students’ credentials with extracurricular activities on the spacious and idyllic campus which we are situated on. There are many interests for students to partake in and we are only one hour away from Toronto. I look forward to continued growth and more importantly, to give our students the opportunity to succeed academically and beyond.

Sincerely,

Bram Mathew

Principal
