About international schools in Malta

British-curriculum international schools in Malta typically follow the English National Curriculum adapted for an international cohort, preparing students for Cambridge IGCSEs and GCE A-levels (or equivalent UK exam boards). Teaching is usually delivered in English, with Maltese taught as a required or strongly encouraged subject and common additional languages including Italian, French and Spanish. Annual tuition varies by school and year group but many British-style schools in Malta publish fees in the mid-to-high single thousands of euros, with some schools below €5,000 and others above €15,000 once extras are included. Most schools have a main September intake and entry points at early years, the start of secondary (around Year 7) and sixth form, and they typically require registration, school records and an English-language assessment for older children.

FAQs for Malta

What qualifications will my child study and do these lead to UK university entry?
Most British-curriculum schools in Malta prepare children for Cambridge IGCSEs (usually at age 16) and GCE A-levels or equivalent post-16 qualifications. These are widely recognised by UK and international universities, though individual university entry depends on exam results, subject choices and any additional admissions requirements.
Is instruction primarily in English and will my child still learn Maltese?
Teaching in British international schools is typically in English, but Maltese is commonly taught as a subject and schools usually include at least one other modern foreign language such as Italian or French. If you want full Maltese-language immersion you should check the school’s timetable and language policy, since the balance between English and Maltese varies by provider.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Published annual tuition for British-style international schools in Malta commonly sits in the mid-to-high single thousands of euros, though individual schools can charge less or considerably more. In addition to tuition expect one-off registration or enrolment fees, exam fees (for IGCSEs/A-levels), uniforms, school trips and extra-curricular or learning-support charges, so factor those into your budget.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
The main intake is in September, so families relocating in the summer should begin enquiries and applications several months in advance; many schools also operate rolling admissions for mid-year starts. Admissions typically require an application form and supporting documents (proof of identity/residence, previous school reports), and older children may be asked to sit an English and maths assessment or attend an interview to check placement.
What ages and stages do British schools in Malta cover?
British-curriculum international schools commonly cover early years and primary through to secondary and sixth form, so you will find provision for nursery/reception (around age 3 - 5), primary (Key Stages 1 - 2), secondary (Key Stages 3 - 4 with IGCSEs) and sixth form (A-levels, ages 16 - 18). Some schools only offer part of this range, so check whether the school covers the stages you need or has formal transition arrangements with other local providers.
What should parents look for when comparing British-curriculum schools in Malta?
Check which UK exam boards and year groups the school runs, how they support English-language learners and whether Maltese and other languages are offered at the level you expect. Also review published fees and extra costs, safeguarding and pastoral care policies, class sizes, inspection or accreditation status, and how the school manages transitions for internationally mobile children.
