Solution for Modern Families
Minerva’s Virtual Academy serves families with mobile lifestyles — those who travel frequently, live in remote locations, or prefer a calmer pace. Through partnerships with Pearson and Tennis Europe, students gain access to quality resources and specialized programs. Enrollment is possible at any point during the year, which accommodates families relocating between places.
Flexible Schedule at Minerva’s Virtual Academy
This British online school caters to teenagers aged 11 to 18, blending traditional elements like morning assemblies and group sessions with distance learning possibilities. Students follow personalized schedules that reflect their interests and commitments. A typical day begins with assembly, followed by 2-3 live lessons, while the rest is spent on independent work through Canvas, social rooms, and interest-based clubs.
The Flipped Learning Method
Using flipped learning, Minerva’s Virtual Academy reverses conventional lesson logic. Students first explore topics independently — watching videos, reading materials, working at their own pace. Live sessions then become spaces where teachers address complex points, facilitate discussions, and help apply what’s been absorbed. This transforms class time into an opportunity for deeper understanding rather than passive note-taking.
Support and School Community
Each student works with a personal mentor who meets them individually to track progress and plan ahead. Beyond that, dozens of clubs — from music to coding — create an active community. Every trimester brings in-person gatherings and trips where students can meet face-to-face, transforming what might feel virtual into genuine connections and friendships that extend beyond screens.
