Date Posted:Tue, 10th Feb 2026
Minerva Virtual Academy (MVA) is proud to announce its new status as a Partner Member of British Schools in the Middle East (BSME) - marking an important milestone in our continued commitment to supporting high-quality British education across the region.
As a UK Department for Education (DfE) accredited online independent school, MVA provides a flexible, academically rigorous British education for students aged 11–18, empowering young people to thrive in an increasingly mobile, digital, and performance-driven world. Our students include elite athletes, performers, entrepreneurs, and globally mobile families who require a school model that adapts to their ambitions - not the other way around.
Becoming a Partner Member of BSME reflects our shared values around educational excellence, innovation, safeguarding, and student wellbeing. It also strengthens our engagement with the wider British international education community across the Middle East, enabling collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the exchange of best practice.
This partnership further reinforces MVA’s long-term commitment to the region, as we continue to build meaningful relationships with schools, educators, families, and education organisations throughout the GCC. Through BSME, we look forward to contributing to professional dialogue, supporting regional initiatives, and working collaboratively to enhance educational outcomes for students.
We are delighted to join the BSME community and look forward to playing an active role in supporting its mission to deliver world-class British education across the Middle East.
