Our Vision & Mission
Convoy International Secondary Academy envisions offering the best high school education in Ontario centered around the 21st century demands, such as the development of academic, social, emotional and moral competencies.
We aspire to realize this vision through dedicated and motivated teachers, who focus on core Canadian values, research on recent educational studies, consideration of individual student strengths and areas of growth, instilling cultural awareness, cooperation with students and implementing innovative teaching pedagogy.
Students are inspired to reach their highest academic potential through an innovative curriculum that encourages them to become effective global citizens, innovators, and leaders. The inclusion of Higher Order Thinking skills helps to deepen their knowledge, enable inquiry, innovation, and creativity, and allows students to become reflective thinkers, problem solvers and confident, effective communicators and leaders.
We firmly believe in an education that combines academic knowledge with that of personal growth. We have established objectives to ensure that each student has an optimal opportunity to develop:
Intellectual Skills: We encourage and guide our students to learn beyond the basic bodies of knowledge, to learn independent and critical thinking skills, to become curious about the world they live in, and to be creative in expressing their thoughts.
Social Skills: We encourage and guide our students to have a better understanding of who they are as individuals. We celebrate our students’ achievements, motivate them to take initiatives, and help them develop a sense of social responsibility and respect for the beliefs of others.
Career Skills: We believe that secondary education plays a crucial role in the evolution of young individuals into productive and contributing members of society. We encourage our students to become forward thinkers about their career objectives. We assist them in developing work habits and skills that match the ever-changing workplace.
