Suzanne Lindley
Principal, Minerva Virtual Academy

For too long, school has asked families to shape their lives around it. At MVA, it couldn’t be more different.

Our unique timetable blends independent, student-led learning with Live Lessons delivered by our brilliant teachers. The result is a calm, balanced approach that gives students both structure and freedom, so they can learn in a way that truly works for them.

We’re a British school with a global, inclusive spirit. Wellbeing sits at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to welcome families from anywhere in the world who want to learn with us.

I very much look forward to welcoming you soon.

Most asked questions
about our international support

Do I need to be British National to study for GCSE online at MVA?

No! You don't have to be a British National, or reside in the UK, to take GCSEs. MVA is a global institution and we welcome students of all nationalities. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a commitment to learning.

Are school trips compulsory?

No, school trips are not compulsory. For some students - like Georgina (watch her story here) - joining a school trip is a real milestone.

Who is responsible for providing physical resources and support at home?

The student and their family are responsible for managing the home learning environment. This includes physical equipment, multi-sensory resources, and ensuring support is in place where needed.

What qualifications do your teachers have?

All our teachers are fully qualified subject specialists, many of whom have taught in top UK independent schools. They bring a wealth of classroom experience and a passion for online education. Several also hold advanced degrees or examiner positions.

What support is available for students who are learning English as an additional language?

We have a dedicated EAL (English as an Additional Language) team that provides tailored support for students who are developing their English skills. Our team delivers a structured curriculum focused on building fluency, confidence, and language development—helping students succeed across all subjects. Support is available through personalised 1:1 sessions and small group lessons.

From press articles and case studies to heartfelt emails sent to our teachers, here’s what our students and families say about life at MVA.

"We are so grateful that Minerva came along at just the right time for us. The quality of education was extremely high. The pastoral care and individual attention was excellent, as was the parental communication."
Mr & Mrs De Greff

“As a new MVA Parent all I can say is thank you. The honesty and integrity that we have been met with at MVA has been second to none.”
Siân Halls

“After only a week I can see our son become more relaxed. Less masking going on during the day, and allowing his true self to just be. He is freely learning, and enjoying meeting new friends, in a highly inclusive environment. So glad we found MVA!”
Natasha Westbury
MVA Parent
