The level of teaching in Malta is very good. As for the exams, Maltese schools follow the Maltese national curriculum which have their own exams called the MATSEC or SEC. Students can still sit for the IGCSE's but they may not have covered ... Read More

At Verdala there is no Spanish - unfortunately...I am surprised by this comment. My daughter goes to Verdala and takes IGCSE Spanish. I am almost positive it is offered at the IB level as well. Another option for boarding is St. Edwards. Read More

San Andrea and Chiswick House schools by LouiseL
Hello, I'm new to the forum and hoping to move to Malta later this year..... After a short visit to Malta in April, we are trying to decide on a school for our almost 4 year old daughter and 19 month old son. We were impressed with San Andrea and ...
San Andrea is a private school that you must pay for. It is very reasonable compared to private schools in other countries though! As Ricky says, there is transport offered (which you pay for as well) from all over the island. Kim Read More
Schools for non Catholics? by irishwantsomesun
Hi I have been planning to relocate with my wife and are young daughter but am wary of putting her into one of the schools that follow Catholic prayers at assembly and before eating. I have been looking at various private schools and have been ...
If IÂ’m not mistaken, I believe the only school that doesnÂ’t teach religion is Verdala International School. Not sure about QSI, they may not teach it either. I believe any school following the Maltese curriculum is obligated to teach religion ... Read More

High net worth individuals scheme by ricky
Hi all, I think the new scheme to replace the previous Permanent Residence Scheme is worth a new topic! It was presented today in parts by Finance Minister Tonio ...
Just curious...How will this affect anyone who moved here under the 'Old' PR scheme (the one suspended last fall). Will the 'Old' PR scheme certificate holders be subject to the new tax minimums (and 'deposit' requirements if they are non-EU)? If ... Read More
