St. Martin's College (Malta)

St. Martin's College

[Chiswick House School and St Martin's College] together form part of a leading co-educational establishment in Malta catering for pupils aged 2 years and 1 month to 18 years.

Chiswick House School follows a well-resourced and broad-based curriculum. It also offers a stimulating programme of activities during the summer months as well as an extensive extracurricular programme. At St Martin’s College the curriculum is designed to give as wide a range of areas of study as possible in order to develop each student's full potential.

Founded in 1905 by Miss Ethel Yabsley and Miss Madeleine Sceberras, Chiswick House School originally catered for the children of British families stationed in Malta. In time, the school established itself as 'a distinguished educational institution' at Windsor Terrace, Sliema.

In 1991 the school moved to award winning premises in Kappara. Today Chiswick House School offers a full educational programme to Early Years and Junior School pupils in a warm, safe environment.

Further expansion took place in 1993 when, at the request of parents, the school re-introduced its Middle and Senior School classes. St Martin's College was purpose-built in Swatar to meet the requirements and specifications of a leading modern college. The latest development in its long history of expansion and innovation has been the establishment of a successful Sixth Form, thus ensuring a full programme of education up to 18 years of age.

Today, Chiswick House School and St Martin's College are firmly established in Malta's educational system as the largest independent educational establishment on the island, offering a top quality, mixed ability education to boys and girls not only from Malta, but also from over 30 other countries, with English as the main language of instruction.

St Martin’s College Sixth Form was founded in 2007 and has established an excellent reputation as a College which allows students to plan their own learning paths, supported and encouraged by a team of highly qualified professionals. Small classes, dedicated teachers and a collegial atmosphere contribute to a positive learning environment, in which students are empowered to chart their own progress, recognise and develop their strengths and achieve the best possible results.
