Welcome note from Suzanne, MVA Principal

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.

What does a typical day look like at MVA?

Every student has a personalised timetable that blends group Live Lessons, self-paced learning, one-to-one mentoring, and optional co-curricular and social activities. Lessons are scheduled across the week, but there’s flexibility to work when it suits your child best. Most students log in each morning, attend two to three live sessions across the day, and complete independent work with support from their mentor.

What is the GST timetable?

The GST timetable is a version of the MVA curriculum delivered in alignment with Gulf Standard Time (GMT+4), making it easier for students across the Gulf, Middle East, East Africa, and surrounding regions to follow a school day that fits their local routines and time zones.

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.

“Having enrolled our daughter into MVA recently we are immensely impressed with the content, communication and general ethos across the board from teachers and mentors.”
