St Patrick's Salesian School provides a supportive learning environment that allows students to prosper academically and socially. The school environment creates a family-like setting where students and staff work side-by-side towards the single goal of empowering the individual student with a meaningful life-long education. Perhaps the hallmark of the school is the friendly atmosphere, a characteristic much remarked upon by visitors. A friendly atmosphere breeds enthusiasm and friendliness. The student's right to learn can never be met unless first he feels safe and valued.

One of school's goals is to offer the students a well-rounded education that will assist them in maximizing their academic potential. The school follows the National Minimum Framework and as a general rule, students are geared for the Matsec and ECDL exams that prepare them for post-secondary education. Not only does the school offer regular subjects such as Maltese, English, Mathematics, and Science but also offer students an opportunity to earn experience in a number of vocational areas such as media, food preparation and design and technology.

However St Patrick's Salesian School not measure success merely by certificates.  The school strives to provide a range of experiences that are diverse and broad enough to capture the interests and talents of all the students. It is also its goal to expose them to ideas and challenges that they may never have had the opportunity to discover. To that end, they offer a number of activities such as art, drama, backstage, sports and the opportunity to be part of the Eko Skola team or the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. The students also participate in Erasmus+ exchange projects. Participation in such activities enhances student confidence, builds resilience and develops skills such as teamwork - all vital qualities if students are to maximise life's opportunities.

The staff places great emphasis on mutual respect, spirituality, human formation and self expression through creative arts. The school community encourages diversity and inclusiveness. It fosters a safe environment that supports innovative and creative practice. Underpinning this is quality education for all students. Students also benefit from the support of the cooperation between staff, parents/carers and relevant allied professionals who meet in order to formulate student priority. An individualised educational program is implemented, evaluated and monitored for those struggling students who need extra help. The school believes that students learn best in different ways and our experienced staff successfully creates friendly, stimulating and engaging learning environments for all students by leading the way in curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. The school strive to provide the necessary support to students in their journey towards adulthood. We do not provide solely the tools for a better future but also the crutches for what is often a bitter present.
