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.
