About Us
Welcome to the MVA Store, the official online destination for Minerva's Virtual Academy merchandise! We are thrilled to offer students, parents, teachers, and fans of MVA a unique way to show their school spirit. Our store is more than just a place to buy clothes and accessories; it's a testament to the incredible energy and creativity of our students.
Minerva's Virtual Academy is the fastest growing school in the UK, designed to provide families with an extraordinary alternative to traditional schooling. Our approach to education is innovative and inclusive, making learning accessible and engaging for everyone. The MVA Merch Store is an extension of this ethos, capturing the spirit of our community in every product we offer.
The brains behind this venture are the talented members of the Young Entrepreneurs Club, an after-school group that meets weekly at MVA. The club, open to all students but currently boasting 25 active members aged 11-18, is a dynamic workshop where young minds learn the nuts and bolts of running a business. From marketing and sales to operations, finance, and HR, each session is a deep dive into the essential skills needed to forge a path in entrepreneurship.
The club is guided by Hugh Viney, the multi-entrepreneur and visionary founder of MVA. Under his mentorship, rather than starting individual ventures, our young entrepreneurs decided to pool their talents and launch a business as a unified team. Their choice? The MVA Store—a collective project that not only serves the MVA community with awesome merch but also strengthens our bonds through shared pride and purpose.
Our merchandise is designed with love and pride, embodying the ethos of MVA. Each item is thoughtfully created to reflect the magic of our community, making everyone feel connected, no matter where they are. Sustainability is a core principle of our club, so all items are of high quality and sustainably sourced, ensuring that we're not just offering products, but also upholding our responsibility to the planet.
10% of all our profits are donated to our mental health charity partners, and all the remaining profits are reinvested into supporting the MVA community through clubs, events, and resources.
Looking ahead, the Young Entrepreneurs have ambitious plans. We aim to expand the MVA Store to serve the global community of online learners with awesome merch, bringing us all closer together in spirit and enterprise. This is just the beginning of our journey, and we are excited about the road ahead.
Thank you for visiting the MVA Store. Each purchase not only shows your support for Minerva's Virtual Academy but also helps nurture the next generation of entrepreneurs. Together, let's wear our pride and drive change, one piece of merch at a time!
