Why learn English in St Julian's?
A language stay in St Julian's puts you in one of Malta's most sociable spots, built around small bays on the island's east coast. Traditional painted luzzu boats bob in Spinola Bay, Balluta Bay is framed by an Art Nouveau apartment block and a neo-Gothic church, and St George's Bay offers a rare sandy beach. English is spoken everywhere, so practice never stops.

Teenagers come too, on supervised programmes. Many of our partner schools offer general, intensive and exam preparation courses, with a placement test on arrival to match you with the right class.
