Our English School in Swieqi , Malta

Based on the principle of work and fun, we have set up a full program of superb entertainment to ensure your English language learning experience is complemented with a fun package. Our experienced leisure team has prepared a variety of activities guaranteed to give you that little extra which will make your visit to Malta an unforgettable one.

Theme nights and parties, sports competitions, and cultural and leisure excursions are but a few of the activities aimed at complementing your education program.

The pool deck at our school the ideal setting for our afternoon and evening activities as the carefree atmosphere combined with the enthusiasm of our young group leaders ensure numerous hours of fun and laughter. Our activities also include night boat trips to Comino (depending on the season) where you can swim in the crystal clear blue sea while enjoying the on-board entertainment - to cite just one example.

Cultural visits are a highlight of the leisure program as we give you the opportunity to relive 5,000 years of history. Trips to the capital Valletta and former capital Mdina, two fortified cities built by the Knights of St. John, are a living memory of years gone by. Valletta with its straight long streets provides a fascinating contrast to Mdina with its narrow winding roads.

Malta's sister island, Gozo, is a unique and tranquil place where traditional values have been preserved and time seems to stand still. Gozo is renowned for its natural beauty and cultural sites.

Other places we visit are the Blue Grotto, Dingli Cliffs, the mysterious Neolithic Temples, reputed to be older than Stonehenge in Britain and the pyramids of Egypt , and the Three Cities - Cospicua, Senglea and Vittoriosa.

Excursions are normally carried out in specially hired vans or coaches but we also cater for the more adventurous and organize Jeep Safaris to certain locations. Students normally drive themselves around the island following a guide up front. The thrills of off-roading are also on the cards.

Our team also organizes beach trips to Malta's splendid bays - where you can enjoy the sea or simply concentrate on going back home with a suntan!!!

Relaxing by the pool deck or taking a dip is always a favorite pastime with our students while the more active students could trim their bodies at our health and fitness centre. The younger at heart can also enjoy a few hours at the well-equipped games room or take some time to sit down and do some reading at the study centre.
