Welcome to the college named after the father of the Maltese language, the Mikiel Anton Vassalli College established on the 19th November 2018 with a specific focus to improve and coordinate the visual and performing art education in Malta and Gozo. Our vision is for these specialised schools to gain the status of an academic cluster with the focus on the quality of teaching and learning in the visual and performing arts. As a college, we strive to create the synergy between these specialised schools. Moreover, we instill in our learners especially the young generation, this awareness of the economics of culture and creative industries in Malta, especially when one considers that they contribute to 6.4% to the Maltese GDP.
