At MVA6, students learn the British curriculum without borders, from over 50 countries worldwide. With expert teachers, Live Lessons, personal mentoring, and total freedom in how and when they learn, MVA6 empowers students to go further, on their own terms.
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.
Our Virtual Learning Platform lets you move ahead at your own pace. Live Lessons bring challenge and depth. Personal Mentoring ensures you stay focused and supported. And our global Community — from school trips to clubs — keeps you inspired, connected, and thriving.
Choose from a wide range of International A Level subjects, combine with unique extras like the EPQ and our Careers & Future programme, and study in a way that fits around your goals.
In order to manage the demands and challenges of Sixth Form study, students will need to have a minimum of:
● Five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above
● Passes in English Language and Maths
● GCSE Grade 6 or above* in any subject you wish to study at A level (Students selecting A Level Maths or Physics must have a Grade 7+ in GCSE Maths or Physics)
It is sometimes possible to study a subject at A level having achieved less than a Grade 6 at GCSE - individual circumstances are always considered and taken into account
“The standard of education, the flexibility, the mentoring, the mixed ways of learning, I can not praise it highly enough.”
From Weekly Assemblies to After School Clubs, Social Rooms and Wellbeing Sessions - our community is where MVA comes alive, culminating in our in-person school trips, which we run five times a term.
Need a hand? Whether you’re a current family or just starting to explore MVA, our team is here to help with anything you need.

At our core, we offer a familiar school experience — morning assemblies, Live Lessons, independent study, and time for clubs, projects, and creative exploration. But that’s where the similarities end. We’re truly flexible, deeply supportive, and every student is guided by people who genuinely care.
Since day one, we’ve aimed to create a school environment that's full of kindness, where students are supported and challenged as per their individual needs. We’re proud to be one of the few online schools with full DfE accreditation — but what really matters is the daily experience: feeling safe, seen, and free to be yourself.
Minerva Virtual Academy was launched in 2020 by education entrepreneur and ex-classics scholar Hugh Viney, founder of Minerva Tutors — the UK’s leading homeschooling agency since 2014. What began as a bold vision for professionalising home tutoring has grown into a pioneering online school where every child can succeed.
Our flipped learning model combines self-paced study on our Virtual Learning Platform with dynamic, teacher-led Live Lessons, so students show up ready to engage, not just take notes. Add in 1:1 Mentoring and a rich Community of clubs and trips, and you’ve got a school that supports the whole child, not just their academic outcomes.
Our teachers, mentors, and HQ team have come together from schools and organisations across the UK to build something unique. We're helping those who value flexibility and individual support get a brilliant education, while also rethinking what a school can be.
“I am so lucky to be a teacher and personal mentor at MVA, and be part of such a kind and caring school community.”
We’re proud to work with a growing network of partners who believe in bringing flexibility and smart thinking to modern education. From trusted names like Pearson to global organisations like Tennis Europe, every partnership helps us reach more families — and shape a new era of learning for those who need it most.
We visit our students and families across the UK whenever we can — because being in the same room does matter. For parents and students, it’s another chance make lasting connections. For us, it’s about listening, learning, and strengthening the community we’re building together.
