Who We Are
Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School (GCHSS), established in 1984, is a leading post-secondary institution in Malta. It serves students aged 16-18, as well as adult learners, preparing them for tertiary education or employment by offering a broad range of academic courses at Advanced, Intermediate, and Ordinary (SEC) Levels. These courses form part of the Matriculation Certificate required for university entry locally and abroad.
Beyond academics, GCHSS provides holistic education through various non-formal enrichment programmes, some accredited at MQF Level 3, fostering essential life skills. The school welcomes diversity, including international students, and promotes a supportive environment via its Guidance and Counselling Team, which assists with academic choices, personal development, and wellbeing.
GCHSS empowers students through a “second chance” mission, allowing them to enhance qualifications and engage in numerous campus activities and projects. Students also participate in a democratic process by electing a Representative Council that communicates their views and organizes events.
Overall, GCHSS supports a smooth transition from secondary school to higher education and the workforce, nurturing learners for future challenges.
