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.
