Come and learn English under the sun in one of Malta’s best English language schools!

For adults aged 18 and over.

Our partner school in Malta is a small, family run school that proudly prefers quality over quantity, concentrating on keeping small class sizes so that they can guarantee that each and every one of their students will profit from individual attention from the teacher.

 

The family who own this school have dedicated themselves to the running of the school 24/7 since the day of its inception - having carefully chosen the location (from an initial shortlesit of 10!) and designed the floor plan and layout of the schools themselves, they supervised the construction of the school building, developed the courses and hired the teachers. Today the entire family is responsible for the the day-to-day running of the school.

 

The carefully chosen location is in a quiet and distinguished residential neighbourhood that’s also just a 10-15 minute walk from the lively areas of St. Julian’s and Spinola Bay, home to seaside bars, restaurants, hotels and much, much more!

 

The school is built over two floors, houses 8 classrooms, common areas and plenty of outdoor space for relaxation - all of which were designed to facilitate learning in the most optimal way possible. The school residence also sits adjacent to the school, providing modern and comfortable accommodation for those who wish to get from the bedroom to the classroom in minutes!

 

Beginner in English?
No problem! This school accepts students from beginner to advanced levels.

*The School residence
"The perfect home away from home, right next to your school!”

And we literally mean that; the school residence is just 30 meters away from the school, meaning a maximum journey of just 3 minutes from bedroom to classroom! Perfect for studying perfect for relaxing, and no need to stress about planning the morning commute. Bliss.

  • Fully air-conditioned bedrooms (heating in winter & cooling in summer)
  • The luxury of living right next to your school/classroom (3 minutes’ walk Image result for clipart walking away!)
  • Free Wi-Fi access all over
  • A clean and peaceful area that is still minutes away from the main tourist resort
  • Buffet breakfast and a choice of six different dishes for lunch (freshly prepared everyday) Please note : (as from January 2019 only the breakfast will be servec, for the lunch the participents have acces to the kitchen facilities)
  • Living in an international environment and interacting with people from all over the world (great English practice!)

A refundable €50 security deposit is required upto arrival to the residence.

*Homestay
Do you want to profit from your English language stay as much as possible and practice English outside of the classroom? Then the homestay option is for you as you'll live with and become a part of an English speaking Maltese family!

Our partner school don't just inspect the families that host their students - they actually know them all personally, meaning they can find a family that best suits each student. All host families are also authorised by the Maltese Tourism Authority. 

The homestay option is ideal for those who want to:

  • Experience the Maltese way of life and live with a family in a typical Maltese home
  • Get the full benefit of total language immersion in a house where all members are native speakers of English
  • Live not further than 5 to 15 minutes away from the school on foot
  • Live in a smaller family setting with fewer people in the house as opposed to a residence/hotel

We can also organise hotel or self-catering apartment accommodation with the help of our partner's local knowledge and expertise. Contact us directly for more information.

*NOTE: Students booking accommodation for 24+ weeks are not required to pay high season prices.
