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.

How We Teach

Learning that adapts around you

“Both of our children are enrolled and it’s already been an amazing start to the year. The neuroaffirming structure of the school and language and approach used by teachers is so refreshing.”

Kerry Bentley

MVA Parent

It’s not an exaggeration to say that MVA has saved my neurodivergent daughters education. After years of struggling in state schools, she is now blossoming under your wonderful online academy. The standard of education, the flexibility, the mentoring, the mixed ways of learning, I can not praise it highly enough.

Our Community

A community where everyone belongs

Whether your child loves to join in or prefers to ease in gently, there’s space for them at MVA. From assemblies and clubs to quiet social rooms and smaller group meetups, we’ve designed our community to work for every kind of learner, with connection that feels safe, not forced.

"Once they feel safe and supported they can take advantage of all that is out there and become the awesome person they are capable of being. We are watching this happen in real time before our eyes, and without MVA I don’t know where we would be."
