Let Them Fly with Harry Allen, Minerva Virtual Academy

What if school could fit around your child, instead of your child having to fit around school?

In this episode I sit down with Harry Allen, Vice Principal for the Middle East at Minerva Virtual Academy, for a warm and honest conversation about online education and what it can offer families here in the Gulf. For so many of us raising children far from home, the question of "is this the right environment for my child?" never quite switches off. Harry has spent more than twenty years in international schools, and he speaks to that worry with real gentleness.

We explore what online schooling actually looks like day to day, how it supports children who don't always thrive in a busy classroom, and the quiet reassurance of one to one mentoring and a school that knows your child by name. We talk flexibility, wellbeing, and the children who flourish when learning is built around who they are.

This one is for any parent who has ever wondered whether there might be a different way. No pressure, no judgement. Just a calm conversation about giving our children room to grow, in whatever shape that takes.
