Gan Frangisk Abela Junior College

G. F. Abela Junior College, commonly known as the Junior College (JC), is a further education college in Msida, Malta, which prepares students for the Matriculation Certificate. It was established in 1995 by the University of Malta. It is named after the 17th-century Maltese historian Giovanni Francesco Abela.

Students may choose from a range of subjects and must take two subjects at Advanced Level, three at Intermediate Level, as well as Systems of Knowledge. Since the college forms part of the University of Malta, students are able to become familiar with the University campus. College and university students collaborate on cultural projects such as concerts, drama, sport, student exchanges, debates and seminars.

The Junior College is housed in a Modernist building which was constructed between 1962 and 1966 as the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology to designs of Victor Anastasi.

The college is governed by a board composed of:

Besides having two representatives on the College Board, the students have their own elected Council, the KSJC (Kunsill Studenti Junior College) which organises various activities in conjunction with the College Administration. Student initiatives such as participation in Young Enterprise, are encouraged as the programme is geared to the development of an all-round personality so as to foster an enterprising spirit. In fact, College students who formed the company "InPact" won the 2000 Young Enterprise Competition. Participation in extracurricular College activities contributes towards the development of a College ethos.
