GTA teacher stripped of licence for sexual impropriety now heads private school
CBC
A man who has been criminally convicted of assaulting a teenaged student, and has been stripped of his teaching licence for professional misconduct and sexual abuse, is now the principal of a private school that caters largely to international boarding students, CBC News has learned.
Anthony "Antonio" Ross pleaded guilty after police laid a charge of assault against him in 2019.
He now works at Convoy International Secondary Academy [CISA], which charges students about $10,000 a year in tuition. Public records show it's owned by a numbered company based in Ontario and another company based in Beijing, China.
According to the school's website, Antonio Ross has been the school's principal and educational consultant since at least 2019.
CISA has two campuses: classrooms in an office building on Yonge Street in Markham, Ont., and a nearly nine-hectare campus near Barrie, Ont., that provides boarding accommodations.
Neither Ross nor CISA responded to numerous questions from CBC News.
There is nothing legally preventing someone convicted of a crime or stripped of their teaching licence from working at a private school.
