Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Admissions begin with an introductory meeting between the Registrar or a member of the Admissions Team, the parents and the child. For prospective students over the age of 2, assessments vary by level: Early Years 1–2 receive a general assessment; Levels 3–5 sit Mathematics and English assessments (and Maltese for Maltese citizens); Levels 6–11 undergo a comprehensive assessment including a Cognitive Ability Test, an interview, and written assessments in Mathematics, English and Maltese (for Maltese citizens), with additional subjects possible if required. The Admissions Team notifies parents of the decision, which is final. Documentation required includes the child's current school report (with wellbeing and information on communication skills), the Early Years Questionnaire for EY 1–2, any relevant psychological reports, the birth certificate (original or authenticated copy with translations if needed), the child's passport/ID, the parents' passports/IDs, a vaccination card for non-Maltese students, and a passport-size photo.
