WORLD’S FIRST
3D Virtual
International School
IVA Global Online School has taken online teaching and learning to the next level – a unique and highly engaging 3D virtual school.
In IVA’s 3D virtual school, students and teachers are represented by avatars interacting and behaving as if they were in a physical school. This is the future of education and IVA is excited to be leading this transformation.
Why IVA
Global

IVA Global Online School selects top teachers with exemplary track records. Our student-centred approach is exemplified by our outstanding teachers, who remain goal-oriented and supportive beyond expectations.
The IVA offering goes beyond excellent Academics. The holistic experience manifests itself across five main pillars.
Five Pillars of IVA
IVA Learn
IVA Global Online School is a world-class online school complete with an interactive 3D campus created for teaching and learning. Students and teachers represent their unique selves through an avatar that walks into school and takes up a seat in the various virtual spaces and classrooms. Awards ceremonies, talent shows, school assemblies and parent meetings feature strongly in our 1000-seater virtual auditorium.
IVA Social
At IVA Global Online School, we are more than the academic rigour found in subjects and assessments. As a school, we are a community with an active online social program and our students have the opportunity to hang out in our virtual home called “Isle of IVA”. IVA students propose different student led societies for student membership and participation. Our students also participate inE–Sports and E-Sports is a weekly lesson for Year 4 to 9 students. IVA Global Online School is represented by students in more than 26 countries around the world, and in-person gatherings are organised per area from time to time. Annually, students have the opportunity to explore the country with their classmates through our camps and tours.
IVA Mind & Body
We aim to equip our students with the tools to manage their mental and physical health. IVA Global Online School students engage once a week in lessons dealing with healthy minds and bodies. Counselling and mentorship structures are built in to ensure students have the support and tools they need at any time.
“Your mind and body are instruments and how you tune them determines how you play life.”
