The San Andrea School is a school in Malta. It was founded in 1992 at Sedqa, Independence Avenue, Naxxar by the Parents Foundation of Education (who also founded San Anton School). At the time it was composed of three classes. In 1995, the school was temporarily moved to a block of flats in Din L-Art Ħelwa.
San Andrea School is situated in the middle of the Maltese countryside, in Imselliet. San Andrea School is composed of three buildings: Early School, Middle School, and Senior School. Each building is adapted to a specific age group, providing the suitable environment and tuition for the students.
Early School consists of Nursery and Grades 1-4. Each grade has four classes, with a common play area between them. All the classrooms have computers available. Early School focuses on teaching young students the social skills they will need for their future, thus giving a more hands-on approach to teaching rather than academic skills.
Middle School consists of Grades 5-7. Students are of ages 8–11. Middle School prepares students for the different subjects for Senior School. Education is more topic-based with different teachers for different subjects. Middle School provides a number of special rooms for different subjects. These include a Library, a Science Laboratory, a Drama and Music room, an Art room, a PSHD room, a Mini Gym for indoor Physical Education sessions, an ICT Lab and more. Playgrounds are allocated according to year groups so that, as much as possible, each year group is kept to its own age range.
Senior School consists of Grades 8-12. Senior School is the last phase students are required to go through, and it prepares students for their Matsec O Levels. Senior School is no longer classroom based, but subject based as students must go to specific classrooms for specific lessons, each lesson having its own qualified teacher. In grades 11 and 12, students can apply to become Monitors. Their role is to help keep order within the school, since they have better communication with their peers. Senior School also has a Student Council, the members being elected by students themselves. Students can put through their own suggestions, complaints or changes about anything to do with the school to the Student Council. Student of the Month certificates for each subject are given to students who have shown excellence in the subject. Senior School is a very important phase in the students education, as at the end of Grade 9 students are required to choose their option subjects - subjects that they will continue to study Grade 10, 11 and 12.
Senior school provides sports facilities, including a football pitch surrounded by a sports track, a tennis court, a shot put area and long jump and high jump facilities. Students from Senior school have won national medals and set national records in different sports.
