Welcome from Head of School

Head of School
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school. Verdala International School has a rich heritage.
This year we are celebrating 50 years on the island of Malta and our campus, located in Pembroke, has its own special history. Verdala is an inclusive, diverse and dynamic not-for-profit international school. The revenue from our school fees is dedicated to maintaining educational excellence, upgrading our facilities, and enhancing our resources to support a thriving learning environment.
At Verdala, our students are at the heart of everything we do. We are dedicated to unlocking their potential and inspiring academic success through a comprehensive and challenging IB curriculum. Our students thrive because we nurture their personal development and growth with exceptional care and professionalism. They enjoy their learning journeys and feel safe in a positive school environment. Students at Verdala are empowered with agency, confidence, and dignity, enabling them to make their own choices, build relationships, flourish and succeed both within our community and in the wider world.
Verdala is a school that prides itself on its strong ethos of diversity—spanning cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, neurodiversity, and abilities. We value every individual as a vital contributor to the story of Verdala. We hold high expectations of ourselves and each other, fostering supportive, respectful relationships among staff, students, and families. Verdala is dedicated to safeguarding and supporting the social, physical, and emotional well-being of the children and young people in our care.
We invite you to join us! Whether you are a student, teacher, administrator, or parent, becoming part of the Verdala community means joining a unique, vibrant school culture.
Visit us at our campus for a warm welcome and see our Verdala International School family learning, achieving, and growing together.
