BELS Malta Language Schools are Owner-run
With over 20 Years of Experience
BELS first opened its doors in 1997 with a small, family-run English school on the island of Gozo. 20 years later, our passion for English has expanded to two lively year-round language schools. Today our schools include a year-round adult school in Gozo and a year-round adult school in Malta which also offers seasonal junior programmes.
Throughout all the growth, we have retained our core values and principles: we provide quality education and services, and we choose to remain small and client focused. At our schools, we know each student by name and their individual learning needs. Our energetic team will ensure that your stay at our BELS Malta language schools is a beneficial, memorable and unique experience.
