The Child at the Centre of the Learning Process

San Anton School is an independent, co-educational, mixed-ability school educating over 1300 students aged 3 to 16 years from Pre-Grade, right through to the end of compulsory education.

Since its inception in 1988 as the original school of the Parents Foundation for Education, San Anton School is committed to providing quality education through a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes each student’s unique abilities and a holistic formation that builds character and fully ensures the wellbeing and safeguarding of its students.

As the first in Malta to have delivered holistic learning, the school remains synonymous with forward-thinking education on the island.  True to its founding ethos, the school couples academic excellence with the development of independent thinking and the vital ability to articulate one’s thoughts and beliefs, thus placing the child at the centre of the learning process.

At San Anton School, teaching and learning is our foremost priority. Through a broad-based curriculum, a bilingual approach and effective pedagogies, all stakeholders will work together to make of the school a place of self-discovery, nurture and growth.

We promote a school community where all members feel safe and accepted yet challenged to grow.   In all it does, San Anton School will promote high standards and expectations for students, administrators, educators and parents, who individually and collectively according to their diverse yet complementary roles, share in our common responsibility of advancing the school’s vision.
