A complete high school, reimagined around how students actually learn.
Minerva Baccalaureate (MBacc) replaces passive lectures with live, student-led seminars on Minerva's Forum platform. Students earn a full, accredited college-preparatory diploma while building the reasoning, communication, and problem-solving skills selective universities look for.

100% active, zero lectures.
Students learn by doing — every seminar is a discussion, debate, or build. Concepts stick because they're used immediately, not memorized for a test.
Nobody falls through the cracks.

Minerva Baccalaureate is built on Minerva's renowned active-learning platform and Forum classroom — the same pedagogy behind one of the world's most selective universities, adapted for high school.
What parents and students are saying.
" The MBacc program helped me change from being outcome-focused and afraid of failure to someone who grows stronger as I learn from my mistakes. "
" Although the program is online, my experience was still filled with close relationships and rich discussions. The courses are designed to teach us how to think, not what to think, and many class topics address real-world situations that prepare us for the future. The faculty genuinely care about students and are very hands-on with their progress. "
" I love how the MBacc teachers led the classes. They helped me a lot to complete the semester successfully, whenever I had a hard time. "
" At my previous school, classes were teachers lecturing and students taking notes, which felt really inefficient. In MBacc, I share ideas and collaborate, so I finally understand the content better and use what I've learned in real life. "
" The most enjoyable part of the MBacc is the in-class discussions, where there are ample opportunities to express views and ideas. "
" I really appreciate what the EOS teachers are doing for my child's social-emotional learning. They challenge him to improve a variety of social skills. "
" MBacc has challenged me to think in new ways and grow as a student. Because of the small class size, I have more time to ask the teacher about difficult concepts. I've also grown better at communicating through in-class debates. "
