What's happening at MVA right now

After a phenomenal launch in Dubai at the start of term in September, MVA's Gulf Community this month made its official launch in the UAE's capital city, Abu Dhabi.

MVA is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Varsity Nine, a leader in elite sports management and US scholarship pathways.

Minerva Virtual Academy commissioned a significant report, cited in Birmingham Live, that casts a critical light on the escalating costs of SEND transport and advocates for a closer look at alternative educational approaches for families.

MVA racers have been making serious waves this week, with three talented young elite athletes recognised as being some of the best in their field.

More than 200 MVA students gathered at London's beautiful Somerset House in December for the 2025 Christmas school trip, wrapping up the school's best ever year of trips and activities outside the virtual classroom.

Online schooling has gone through countless iterations over the past decade, not just at MVA but across the (still very young!) industry. As a result, there is still some fuzziness around what an online school actually looks like, how it works, and who it's actually for.

Last week, we released the results of our landmark survey - The Anatomy of Anxiety in British Secondary Schools - of more than 2000 families across the UK, digging into the school absence crisis and the reasons why so many children are struggling to get to the classroom.

Last week, MVA hosted 7 representatives of the Department for Education, both virtually and in person at MVA HQ in Brixton, to give them a taste of how our award-winning approach to schooling works in such transformational ways for students.

Earlier this month, MVA students set off on the school's first ever residential in-person trip, spending three days exploring the wonders of England's foot, Cornwall.

In a (pre-arranged) switch-up, MVA students have been taking control of the MVA social channels to share their stories, daily lives, and senses of humour to the world.

Local Authorities face a difficult challenge. When children find their needs aren't met in the mainstream and fall through the cracks, LAs are tasked with finding an alternative to ensure those children still get an education.

MVA's elite young racing talent are swapping the tarmac for the virtual raceway with the launch of MVA's new iRacing Club, in partnership with Drivers Lab.
