Empowering Students Through Quality Education, Cultural Exploration, and Active Living

Mag. Mila Alexandrov

Academic Director and Founder

As an enthusiastic and dynamic educator deeply invested in fostering students' intellectual and social development, I actively participate in various educational aspects. This includes curriculum and pastoral enhancement, tracking student advancement, and contributing wholeheartedly to extracurricular programs.

With a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Master’s degree in Teaching Biology and Chemistry, I have accumulated over 25 years of teaching experience in Biology, ESS, and General Science at the Secondary level. Throughout my extensive teaching career at International Schools across various countries such as Malta, the Bahamas, the Netherlands, and Austria, I finally decided to open Study Academy Vienna to support students during their challenging journey in the IB world and to become one of the leading and highly appreciated organizations by International parents, schools, and students.

I have held roles as Head of a Science Department, School Year Leader, and Activities Coordinator. My Certificate in International Leadership, focusing on Curriculum Leadership, Effective School Administration, Instructional Supervision and Evaluation, as well as Leadership and Group Dynamics, has strengthened my commitment to nurturing students' enthusiasm and fostering their interest in learning. Furthermore, I bring valuable expertise as an IB Examiner, having previously worked at Stanford University IBDP Courses. My background also includes extensive experience in supporting ESL learners and students with special needs.
