Virtual Academy

World-class virtual schooling built on personal mentoring and community, run by teachers from the UK's top schools, and brought to you by Premier Learning Tutors, the UK's most competitive private home education organisation.

Premier Virtual Academy is an affordable, accessible online independent school for 5-18 year old's that delivers world-class education with a true sense of community.

There is an alternative to traditional school, and we are committed to making a difference. The school we need right now, the school of the future...

Premier Virtual Academy was founded by Premier Learning, one of the the UK's leading homeschooling and private tuition agency.

Since its inception in 2000, Premier Learning has won many awards and continues to offer personalised 1-to-1 homeschooling to families in the UK and around the world. Both organisations are run by Mahesh Patel, ex-Mathematics scholar and a previous Entrepreneur of the Year at the National Business awards. An ex-tutor & Math Teacher himself, Mahesh's founding vision for Premier Learning was to help professionalise the tutoring industry and to offer parents an alternative approach - by working with tutors who had the ability to raise a child's confidence as well as offer rigorous academic tuition, students would be better off in the long run, not just on exam day.

PVA is the culmination of Premier Learning's desire to help as many children as possible benefit from the advantages of personalised learning, and is one step closer to the statement Mahesh wrote up on the whiteboard in the earliest days of the company: 'Every Child Succeeds'.

Why it matters

In a world where nearly 1.8 million school-age children in the UK alone grapple with the constraints of traditional schooling, we're providing families with choice, empowering them to make decisions not available to them before.

By collectively reshaping the educational paradigm, we can create a more inclusive, engaging, and rewarding learning experience that caters to all students, not just the majority.
