I have been so impressed
We chose Minerva because of their "whole-school" approach, the fact there are Assemblies, World Changers and after school opportunities make it feel more like a school community. I love the ethos of well-being that is prevalent throughout all the emails and extracurricular activities. Lawrence and the staff clearly work to promote well-being amongst the children. I have been so impressed.'
Thank you!
"We are about to travel to Sheffield where the Summer British Championships are held and in which Inès has 10 races she qualified for. This would not have been possible without homeschooling and your help. Thank you!"

What curriculum will my child study?
Students study the British curriculum: IGCSEs aged 14-15 and A Levels aged 16 - 18.
British GCSE and A Level qualifications are highly respected around the world and are accepted for entry into all European universities, as well as universities in North America, South America, Asia, and Australasia.
What help do tennis players recieve?
Our school requires students to attend fewer classroom hours than at a traditional school so tennis players can spend more time training and playing in tournaments.
As the only online school with a specialist team of former professional athletes on hand to help, young tennis players and athletes receive highly specialist advice through dedicated mentoring sessions to help them thrive on and off the court.
This is complemented by our High Performance Club where players meet with former professional athletes to ask for advice and aims to create a community of young players that will form friendships for life.
Our school can also be accessed anywhere in the world. Tennis players can travel and study whilst overseas for vacations or international competitions.
