The Team Behind the Innovation

Educators Who Care. Mentors Who Guide. VEGA Academy is led by a team of educators and innovators who share one belief: every student deserves to feel capable, supported, and inspired.

Our teachers combine academic excellence with compassion and mentorship. With guidance from our academic partner, International Business University, VEGA Academy students gain early exposure to university-style learning and leadership experiences that strengthen their readiness for the future.

“At VEGA Academy, students don’t just prepare for university – they start living it. Through dual-credit learning, real mentorship, and rigorous expectations, they practice critical inquiry, ethical reasoning, and AI fluency at the core of their studies. Each student leaves with more than an OSSD: they graduate with a Showcase Portfolio that demonstrates they can investigate real problems, create value, and contribute beyond the classroom.”

Miguel Lameiro

Principal, VEGA Academy

Everyone on our team is committed to ensuring every student feels supported, empowered, and inspired throughout their educational journey with us.”

IBU Days

IBU days enable students to explore university life while still in high school. Students will attend networking events, sit in real university classes taught by IBU professors, and explore different campus venues. They will get a true sense of life at a university. IBU Days are a chance to learn, connect, and experience what it’s like to be part of our university community, helping students imagine their future.

IBU North Star

Each VEGA Academy student is paired with an IBU North Star, an International Business University student, who serves as their guide and support along the way. Just like the real North Star that helps travelers find their direction, an IBU North Star helps VEGA Academy students find theirs. They offer guidance, encouragement, and insight into life in Canada and what it means to grow as a learner and global citizen.

If extra academic support is needed, students will not only have help from VEGA Academy teachers, but they can also be tutored by IBU students. This gives them the chance to learn directly from university peers who understand what it takes to succeed academically.
