A flexible online school where 11 to 18 year olds are supported to learn at their own pace — with expert mentors, small group lessons, and a focus on wellbeing. Whether your child is anxious, burnt out, or recovering from school trauma, MVA offers a path forward with care and calm.
We know that for young elite athletes, your sport isn’t just a passion — it’s your life. But your education doesn’t need to fall by the wayside.
At Minerva’s Virtual Academy, school is designed to work around your training and competition schedule, not the other way around. With a flexible, student-led approach and expert teaching, you can pursue both your academic and sporting ambitions without compromise.
As ex-professional athletes ourselves, we understand the demands and pressures you face. That’s why we’re proud to be part of a team that supports students with access to experienced mentors, sports psychologists, and a structure that genuinely understands life as an athlete.
You don’t have to choose between school and sport. You can do both, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
