Company Description:

Vega Collegiate Academy is a college preparatory K-8 public charter school educating students in Northwest Aurora. At Vega, we believe that through a structured and joyful school environment, with an absolute focus on academic achievement, all children can be prepared for a life of opportunity. We are relentless in the pursuit of equity for our students and are guided by the following organizational beliefs:

We are driven by an urgent mission. 

  • The opportunity gap is a major social justice issue of our time.  We approach every school day with passion and urgency.

  • Our students deserve a high-quality education that will prepare them for life beyond college.

  • We believe the best education integrates school, families, and the community.

  • Our mission is accomplished by actively dismantling racism and discrimination at every level.

Great teaching leads to great outcomes.

  • Great teaching is not easily or quickly mastered. We continually receive feedback, practice, and reflect to improve ourselves.

  • Great teaching is not simply the transfer of content knowledge; it is teaching how to think deeply and critically engage in all content.

  • Strong relationships and trauma-informed practices are the foundation for great teaching.

  • Great teaching means ALL kids are achieving at their highest potential.

  • Great teaching is supported through strong school-wide systems and operations.

  • Excellent student outcomes are our collective responsibility.

  • We strive to make our school a sustainable workplace for teacher fulfillment and longevity.

We grow and adapt as individuals within our community.

  • We believe the strongest teams are composed of different perspectives, cultures, and experiences.

  • We assume the best intentions of each other, students, and families.

  • We value and respect vulnerability as a catalyst for growth. We are approachable. 

  • We proactively identify problems and embrace change that supports our mission. 

  • We practice accountability and action. We attack the problem, not the person. 

  • We listen to each other. We openly and directly communicate. We reflect together.

  • We model emotional resilience for our students.

We find and create joy in our work.

  • We enjoy spending time with kids. We laugh, celebrate, love, and grow together.

  • We know and deeply care for the children we serve.

  • We approach our work with optimism, positivity, and acceptance.

  • The work is hard but worth it.
