The beautiful island of Malta, located in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, is an ideal place for studying English if you like sunshine, swimming and meeting new people. Malta offers a wealth of tradition and history and an abundance of nature, spectacular and panoramic views and sites.
Malta’s small size is an advantage as most sites are within a relatively small distance. It is the right destination to do a lot, from visiting World Heritage sites to basking in the sunshine on one of its fabulous beaches.
With tourism, quite naturally, being one of the main industries, the country has a well-developed infrastructure to cater for travellers of all ages, with direct flights available from most European cities.
Malta is also one of the safest countries in the world, with an exceedingly low crime rate, giving travellers the peace of mind they may not normally have in their home country.
The island became a British colony in 1814 and gained independence in 1964. Mediterranean culture is dominant in Malta but 150 years of British rule have had a lasting effect on the country and its language. With English being one of two national languages, the whole country acts as an extension to the classroom. The rich history and culture of the Maltese islands act to create an unforgettable experience for all students that will be forever treasured.
