MVA Dubai Friends & Family Day

Sunday 6 September 2026 · 11:00am–2:00pm GST
Al Habtoor Polo Resort, Dubai · Pre-registration essential

What to expect

This relaxed, in-person event is designed for current and prospective MVA families across Dubai and the wider Middle East.

It is an opportunity to experience the MVA community in person, meet the people behind the school and learn how our flexible British education works for students living in the region.

You will have the opportunity to:

  • Meet members of the MVA leadership and Middle East team, including our Founder and CEO, Hugh Viney
  • Hear directly from current MVA students about their experience of online British schooling
  • Understand how live lessons, independent study and personalised mentoring work together
  • Learn how MVA supports students who need greater flexibility, structure or individual attention
  • Explore GCSE and A Level pathways, subject choices and GCC-friendly timetable options
  • Ask questions about admissions, SEND support, wellbeing, elite sport and international family life
  • Meet other MVA families from across Dubai and the wider region
  • Enjoy lunch and family-friendly activities in the surroundings of Al Habtoor Polo Resort

Whether your child is already part of MVA or you are exploring an alternative to traditional or international school, this event offers a friendly, real-world introduction to the people, students and community behind MVA.

Places are limited and pre-registration is essential. Every family attending must register in advance.

Who is this event for?

This event is ideal for families in the Middle East who are looking for:

  • A recognised British education, including GCSEs and A Levels, delivered from anywhere
  • A flexible timetable that works around sport, travel, performing arts or family commitments
  • A stable school experience for students who relocate frequently within the GCC
  • Personalised mentoring to support academic progress and wellbeing
  • A calm, student-centred alternative to long commutes and overcrowded classrooms
  • SEND-inclusive pathways tailored to individual needs
  • The opportunity to meet other MVA students and families locally
  • A clearer understanding of what online schooling looks like day to day

You will have plenty of time to speak with the MVA team, hear honest experiences from current students and discuss your child’s individual goals.

This is an informal family event rather than a traditional school presentation, so children and young people are warmly encouraged to attend.

Attendance is free, but pre-registration is essential. We will not be able to guarantee entry to families who have not registered in advance.
