Malta is one of the most popular destinations in the world for people learning English - and for good reason. Nowhere else in Europe can you learn English in such a pleasant climate with a rich Mediterranean culture. There is a lot to do in St. Julian's, especially when it comes to water sports, and even more to discover if you venture further afield - so see what the rest of Malta has in store for you!  Below you can read the testimonials of some of our students, see pictures of our language school and its surroundings, watch a video about the school and orientate yourself by looking at a map showing our school's location.

The picturesque town of St. Julian’s is on Malta's east coast. Once a fishing village, today it's a bustling town full of restaurants, pubs and entertainment venues. Pembroke, where our school is located, is just a 10 minute walk away and offers a peaceful atmosphere more suited to learning.

At our St. Julian’s school we offer a variety of English language courses: whether you'd prefer an intensive course in order to make rapid progress or a special exam course to prepare for the Cambridge Language Certificate, or one of our other courses, we'll get you to the level you want.

In addition to learning English, you'll become familiar with the daily lives of the Maltese people, enjoy their traditional cuisine, discover the local history and art and immediately apply your new skills after every lesson.
