The Early Sector provides bilingual instruction in English and Maltese with both languages taught equally. From Grade 2, learning follows the National Curriculum Framework through a thematic, project‑based approach. The Middle Sector (Grades 4–7) covers English, Maltese, Mathematics, Religion, Science, Environmental Studies, and practical subjects such as Art, Drama, Music, PSCD, Physical Education, Library Skills, ICT (Grade 5–7) and Italian from Grade 7.

Fees

Annual tuition at San Andrea School ranges from EUR 4,500 for 2026/27.

Application / Registration fees

- Registration fee (payable at time of registration): EUR 50.00 per child (non-refundable).
- Parents Foundation for Education (PFE) contribution (payable at registration): EUR 1,500.00 per family (refundable under the PFE Contribution Rules but refunded only under the terms and timetable determined by the Foundation).
- The registration form also references a small annual PFE levy that may be applied for capital expenditure, not to exceed EUR 116.47 per child per annum for up to six years (as provided in the contributor declaration).

Tuition fees (per year group and per term)

- No published, itemised tuition schedule for specific year groups and per-term amounts for the 2026/27 academic year was found in publicly available parent-facing materials. For planning purposes, previously published independent estimates place annual tuition for San Andrea School broadly in the range of EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,500 depending on the year group; one independent guide lists a typical annual cost range of EUR 3,000–EUR 6,000 while another source cites an estimated annual cost in the region of EUR 4,500–EUR 6,500. These figures are estimates and not a detailed per-term, per-grade fee schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Registration becomes effective only once the registration fee and the PFE contribution (where required) have been received in the Foundation's account. The registration paperwork and bank-transfer instructions are issued at the point of registration. Payments for registration/PFE contribution are completed by bank transfer to the Parents Foundation for Education account (account and IBAN details are published on the registration form).
- The school operates an online parent management system (MySchool) through which parents and students access diaries, notices and the school calendar; invoicing and detailed billing information for enrolled families is administered through school channels rather than in a public, downloadable tuition table. Specific term billing dates and installment options are issued to parents via the school's administration/parent portal.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- San Andrea School is operated as a day school (Early, Middle and Senior Sectors) with school start/finish times and an organised school transport service; there is no public indication of a boarding provision or boarding fees for San Andrea School. Transport is arranged via contracted providers and school transport proposals reference daytime pick-up/return schedules.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Uniforms: School uniform items are supplied by an approved supplier (Bortex). Uniform items and purchases are made through that supplier; uniform costs are separate to tuition and will vary by items purchased.
- Books and stationery: Standard book lists and stationery lists are published for each grade; families purchase required books and stationery separately (book and stationery lists are published each scholastic year).
- Transport: School transport is provided by contracted transport operators; transport costs are charged separately by the transport provider according to routes and service arrangements. The school issues requests for proposals and specifies service requirements; pricing and payment terms for transport are dealt with between parents and the chosen transport provider or as arranged by the school.
- Extracurricular activities, trips, workshops, specific subject materials, and optional services (for example supervised midday pick-up, special workshops or third‑party programmes) are charged separately when applicable and will be invoiced in addition to tuition. (The school publishes activity and book/stationery lists for planning.)

Refund information

- The registration fee of EUR 50.00 is stated as non-refundable. The PFE contribution (EUR 1,500.00) is treated as a refundable contribution under the Foundation's rules, but refunds are issued only under the conditions and schedule set by the Parents' Foundation for Education; historical legal review and reporting have confirmed that refunds of contribution payments are governed by the Foundation's rules and discretion. Refund timing and eligibility are therefore determined by the PFE rules and contract terms.

Fee payment options

- Bank transfer: The registration documentation provides explicit bank-transfer instructions and IBAN details for the Parents Foundation for Education account (Bank of Valletta account and IBAN provided on the registration form). Parents are asked to transfer the registration fee and the PFE contribution to that account and to submit a copy of the transfer to the registration office.
- Other payment methods: The registration form and public parent materials emphasise bank transfer for registration/PFE contributions; other payment methods (credit/debit card, online payment gateways or direct debit for termly tuition) are not specified in the publicly available registration form. Invoicing arrangements, installment plans and accepted payment methods for ongoing tuition and other charges are communicated directly to enrolled families via the school's billing process and parent portal.

Summary note about availability of a full term-by-term fee schedule

- A full, detailed public schedule listing tuition fees per specific year group and per term for the 2026/27 academic year was not available in public materials. Confirmed, published items available to prospective parents include the non-refundable registration fee (EUR 50.00), the PFE contribution (EUR 1,500.00 per family) and the PFE annual levy cap referenced above; tuition-level estimates from independent guides place annual tuition broadly in the EUR 3,000–EUR 6,500 range depending on year group. For exact term-by-term tuition figures, invoice dates and installment options, the school issues official billing to registered/enrolled parents via the registration process and parent channels.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Registering your child is the first step toward joining San Andrea School. The Admissions Team guides you through each stage and keeps you informed of progress and any additional requirements. It is recommended to register as early as possible to secure a place. 2. Documents required include an original birth certificate (translated into English if not in English) and I.D./Passports of both parents. Vaccination records must be provided (translated into English). Latest school reports and any psychological reports are needed, along with a head's reference letter from the previous school for middle and senior admissions. A residence permit and/or lease or purchase documents in Malta may be required, and all forms must be endorsed by both parents. 3. Applications operate on a first-come, first-served basis, with siblings' preference in the year of birth. The process is subject to space within the relevant entry level. Applicants who complete the registration are enrolled in the school, subject to space. 4. If classes are full, applicants are placed on a waiting list. The waiting list remains until a place becomes available. When a place becomes available, the registrations department contacts the parents to arrange enrollment. 5. Registrations and acceptances will not be processed unless all forms and documents are endorsed by both parents. Any concerns should be disclosed and discussed with the head of school and the designated personnel prior to registration. This helps address needs before formal enrollment.

Waitlist
Applicants are placed on a waiting list once all classes have reached capacity. When a place becomes available, the registrations department contacts the parents to arrange enrollment.
