Thank you so much for your insight on this. He's a snake faunus and I figured, "Why not have him in a place that is cunning, but mysterious in the first place.

They have not said what the Signal equivalent in Vacuo is. However, given Vacuo is apparently aprimarily nomadic Kingdom it wouldn't surprise me if there isn't really one. Instead the students would learn on the go in the caravans. If you want a proper, structured academy though, you could always name it yourself.

Academies in Kingdoms have themes going for them - Haven and Sanctum are both safe places, while Beacon and Signal are both signs of something. You could follow on this and go for a synonym of shade that ties into one of its meanings. The first meaning of Shade is:

1. comparative darkness and coolness caused by shelter from direct sunlight.

and synonyms include: shadow, shadiness, shadows; coolness, cool; shelter, cover. Shelter or Cover are words that fit and sound like they could be an Academy name from that list. Personally I would choose Shelter, but you can do what you wish.

If they announce a proper name for the primary you can always go back and edit your fic later.

EDIT: Ninja'd, but my point still stands.
