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.
1. Tour Verdala International School. A tour is recommended to observe the atmosphere, facilities, and campus. To schedule, complete the form on the Admissions page and the Admissions Team will contact you. The tour helps families decide if Verdala is the right fit. 2. Make an application. For each applicant, submit documentation in English (translations by a recognised authority), school records for the previous two years and the current year, any relevant assessments or health reports, a passport photo page, and health records as required by Maltese law. Include the non-refundable application fee. The signature of the parent on the Application Form constitutes acceptance of all Terms and Conditions. 3. Admissions policy & placement. Review the Admissions policy. Grade placement is shown in the grade/age table accompanying the policy; this determines the appropriate entry grade. The admissions process is connected to the annual re-enrolment initiated in March, and spaces are reviewed accordingly. 4. Waiting pools. If a class is full, a waiting pool of applications will be created. A student's position may change as new applications with higher priority arrive. Students remain in the wait pool for the academic year applied for. If a seat is not found within that year, parents may roll over the application to the next academic year as early as October 1. 5. Payments. Fees are payable at specific times: the non-refundable application fee at application; the non-refundable registration fee within 15 days of offer; remaining tuition and fees due in August (Semester 1) and January (Semester 2).
Waiting Pools: A waiting pool of applications will be created if a class is full. A student's position in the wait pool may change if there are subsequent applications from families with higher priority. Students will remain in the wait pool for the academic year for which they have applied. If a seat is not found for the applicant within that academic year, parents may contact the admissions office to roll over the application to the next academic year as early as October 1.
Verdala International School in Malta educates students aged 3–18 through an IB continuum. The Elementary School implements the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP); the school is authorised to offer MYP, DP and IBCP, and it is a candidate for PYP. Founded in 1976, it began as a day school for oil-industry staff and moved to Fort Pembroke in 1987, where the Middle and High Schools occupy the fort's barracks and the High School sits in the hexagonal centre. A new eco-forward building due December 2025 will house Early Years and Kindergarten and relocate the administration block. The library supports IB with sections for elementary and secondary students and focuses on inquiry and research. Verdala runs JA programmes, including Student Company teams with awards, and earned the JA Europe Entrepreneurial School TES Award in 2024. Outdoor leadership, Mandarin language study and service projects further enrich the curriculum.
