Book Discovery Call

It's been a lifesaver

It’s been a lifesaver for her to be able to continue studies whilst she can’t go back to school in person. Mrs G.

There is no comparison

We also had a meeting with Kings Interhigh to see what your competition were like - you are streets ahead, there is no comparison. Mr T.

A school that listens

We feel so glad to have found Minerva. It was clear from the first call that the staff really cared - finally, a school that listens! Julia.

Querido padre,

El mundo ha experimentado cambios rápidos en los últimos años, al igual que la forma en que educamos a nuestros hijos. Por eso me complace darle la bienvenida a la Academia Virtual de Minerva, una escuela galardonada que combina lo mejor de la tradición y la innovación para brindar a sus hijos una educación excepcional adecuada para ellos.

A diferencia de las escuelas físicas, nuestros estudiantes aprenden predominantemente en casa, donde pueden ser ellos mismos y explorar sus pasiones. Nuestros dedicados profesores dan vida al plan de estudios británico a través del poder del aprendizaje invertido, que combina el autoaprendizaje guiado con clases diarias en vivo. Ofrecemos una variedad de actividades extracurriculares y clubes que permiten a los alumnos perseguir sus intereses y desarrollar nuevas habilidades.

Pero lo que realmente diferencia a la Academia Virtual de Minerva es lo mucho que conocemos a nuestros estudiantes como individuos. Nuestros inspiradores mentores personales (por primera vez en cualquier escuela en la que haya enseñado) ofrecen una orientación y un apoyo invaluables, ya que ayudan a su hijo a desarrollar todo su potencial y alcanzar sus metas. Fomentamos un fuerte sentido de comunidad, donde los alumnos pueden hacer amigos y establecer conexiones entre culturas y fronteras que durarán toda la vida.

Tómese el tiempo para explorar nuestro sitio web y obtener más información sobre lo que tenemos para ofrecer. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en ponerse en contacto con nosotros. Estaremos encantados de ayudarle a tomar la mejor decisión para el futuro de su hijo.

Lawrence Tubb, director de la Academia Virtual de Minerva, con experiencia previa en Wycombe Abbey, un prestigioso internado británico reconocido por su excelencia académica.

Introducing a new standard of online school

Personalised teaching & mentoring for every student

Small class sizes, a forward-thinking curriculum, teachers from the UK's top schools - all brought to life by our brilliant personal mentors who help our students learn at home and feel at home, wherever they are, wherever they’re going.

Get to Know Our Teachers

We're perfect for...

...fostering confidence & growth

Away from the pressures of the traditional classroom, and with the help of their personal mentor, our students find focus and confidence that can help them flourish.

Our teaching philosophy stems from building confidence to unlock academic performance and personal growth. We help our students overcome any challenges from their past and build resilience and essential skills to help them in their future.

MVA for Empowered Learners

... balancing education & passions

Traditional schools aren't built for trailblazers, whether you're pursuing sport or developing an early career in the arts or on the stage.

At MVA, Live Lessons can be rewatched and self-study work can fit around unconventional schedules, supporting young performers to pursue their passions without compromising on their education.

MVA for Passionate Pursuers

...embracing unique learning needs

The ethos at MVA embraces the uniqueness of each student's learning journey, nurturing an environment steeped in inclusivity and understanding. With a dedicated, full-time SENDCo, experienced SEND mentors, and teachers, we provide personalised support tailored to each student's needs. 

Our entire school approach is geared towards fostering an environment that changes attitudes towards inclusive education and diversified learning needs.

MVA for Diverse Thinkers

...a British education from anywhere in the world

Being a virtual school with no fixed campus means we can extend the excellence of a British education to students around the world - ideal for families on the move or those in regions where access to top-tier education may be limited.

Studying the British curriculum paves the way for a fantastic future - from entrepreneurship and the arts to pursuing university education in the UK or anywhere in the world.

Starting from Assembly at 9.00am GMT on Monday, a typical week at MVA offers a blend of Live Lessons with our brilliant subject teachers, guided-self study, personal mentoring, and stimulating activities like World Changers and After School Clubs.

We're everything a modern school should be - flexible, inclusive, and globally minded, guiding each student on their journey through their GCSEs, A Levels and filling them with confidence for the world beyond.

When did MVA begin?

MVA was launched by Minerva Tutors, the UK’s leading provider of private homeschooling to children aged 5 to 18. Head to our About page for more information.

Ask us a question!

When can my child join MVA?

Your child can join us at the beginning of term, or midway through the term at one of our rolling intake days. Please get in touch to find out when the next intake day is.

How much involvement is required on my part as a parent?

Every family is different - while some parents prefer to be actively involved in their child's education, others may prefer a different approach. In our experience, a balanced approach, where parents and our experienced educators work together, yields the best results. Whether it's setting daily schedules, discussing well-being, or engaging in open communication, we encourage a collaborative effort to support each student's academic journey and overall development.

What about the social side of home education?

Fostering friendships and activity between students has been a priority for us since the beginning. Students can get to know each other in Live Lessons, as well as Student-led clubs, Social Rooms, After School Clubs, and then come together to strengthen these relationships on in-person (non-mandatory) School Trips.

What is the biggest difference between traditional and online schooling?

The biggest difference is the flexibility and personalised approach that online education offers. At MVA, students have the freedom to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule, guided by their very own personal mentor.

How experienced are your teachers?

Our teachers are highly qualified and experienced. Many of whom have come to us from positions as Head of Departments at bricks and mortar school. Eachof our teachers is passionate about online schooling and how it can help more students than ever unlock their potential. You can meet them here.

Is MVA a good pathway to university?

Absolutely! MVA offers a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for university and beyond. The British A Level qualification (exams are usually sat at aged 18) are accepted as entry to almost every university around the world. We also offer full UCAS and university entrance help as part of our Sixth Form programme.
