About VEGA Academy

Our Mission, Vision & Philosophy

Mission

VEGA Academy equips learners with a world-class, AI-integrated education that fuses science, math, business, and the arts. Through rigorous academics, entrepreneurial learning, and dual-credit university pathways, students lead, innovate, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Vision

VEGA Academy envisions a future where young minds are ignited as entrepreneurial, critical thinkers, fully prepared for top university pathways and equipped to make real-world impact, redefining what a world-class high school education can be in an AI-driven world.

Our Origin Story (How VEGA Academy started)

Why VEGA Academy?

At VEGA Academy, we aim to serve students and families who find that current high school models, public and private, are not keeping pace with the demands of university, work, and life in an AI-saturated world. These include concerns about students graduating with siloed knowledge, superficial reasoning, weak writing, limited agency, and little authentic experience of applying their learning in public, real-world contexts. Families see marks but not growth, technology but not thinking, credentials but not clear pathways. VEGA Academy’s purpose, academically, is to close that gap through an integrated OSSD–university pathway that centres on sustained inquiry, critical reasoning, the ethical use of AI, and real-world mastery and performance, captured in a student Showcase Portfolios, all of which is underpinned by dual transfer credit opportunities with International Business University (IBU).

Leadership Team

Sedef Ozyigit

Director, VEGA Academy

At VEGA Academy, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom. Our co-curricular experiences are designed to help students grow, connect, and discover their strengths in real-world settings. Everyone on our team is committed to ensuring every student feels supported, empowered, and inspired throughout their educational journey with us.

Miguel Lameiro

Principal, VEGA Academy

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.
