St. Aloisius' CollegeSt. Aloysius' College is 100 years young. The College opened as a school for boys on 8 October 1907, at the behest of Pope St. Pius X. The College is part of the worldwide commitment by the Society of Jesus in the education and formation of young people. Jesuit education in Malta dates back to the foundation of the Collegius Melitense, the forerunner of the University of Malta, in 1592. In the nineteenth century there was St. Ignatius' College, established by the English Jesuits, who had to relinquish it in favour of a new college for immigrant Catholic boys in England.

The College is named after St. Aloysius' Gonzaga (1568-1591), a Jesuit of noble origin who died serving the victims of the plague that, afflicted Rome in his time. St. Aloysius is the patron saint of young people. In recent years, he was declared patron saint of AIDS sufferers and AIDS care-workers.

St. Aloysius' College sees to form students who genuinely live their Christian faith while taking an open-minded approach to contemporary issues. We make a firm commitment to orient young people towards the ultimate truth in their search for meaning and to explore creatively global concerns such as poverty, peace, the environment, migration, cultural diversity and the responsible use of shared resources.


Presently St. Aloysius' College is developing a new site. In the mean time, you may find more information on the old site here.
