For the first time in the history of the sport, an award-winning online school offers kart drivers aged 12 to 18 the opportunity to take high school and secondary school courses around their training and racing schedules. Its relevance is based on its extensive knowledge of the sport and its flexibility to adapt to individual needs.



Sol Rolls-Tyson, Head of Elite Athlete Education at the Academy, said, "Online learning is changing the way young competitors and their families think about school - it's not just one or the other anymore. We're excited to be able to offer a wider audience flexible education for drivers."



Minerva's Virtual Academy
is a renowned online school based in London, UK. The school combines intelligent, interactive self-study supported by a personal mentor with online courses that can be managed to suit each individual's schedule. The Academy can be accessed anywhere in the world at any time via the internet.



It is therefore able to offer the flexibility that many young drivers and their families need to pursue a promising career in competition without neglecting their school education. Its partnership with the RGMMC Group ensures that it takes into account the academic interests of the drivers in the context of racing.



The school offers to achieve the prestigious British GCSE (15-16 years) and A Level (17-18 years) qualifications, which are recognized as opening access to all universities in the world. No specific level is required for admission, but a good command of the English language is essential. Enrollment at Minerva's Virtual Academy can be for the full school programme as well as for individual classes integrated into personalised education plans.

    
    


European Champion and OK-Junior World Champion Freddie Slater trusts Minerva's Virtual Academy.



"I started a new school term with Minerva in September. This means that my classes and schoolwork are all online and I can now study anytime from anywhere in the world! Plus, I am part of a great global community of students who need a flexible education, just like me.”



As the only online school with a dedicated team of former professional athletes, Minerva's Virtual Academy provides young drivers with highly specialised guidance in dedicated mentoring sessions to help them thrive on and off the track. A dynamic weekly programme of social interaction and extracurricular learning opportunities expands minds and creates lasting friendships with top athletes in all sports (tennis, soccer, golf, etc.).



Make your life easier. Discover the freedom to progress and learn at your own pace. Regain balance and control through sustained self-study, intelligent virtual learning and inspiring mentoring. The process of changing from a traditional school is quick and easy.
