Struggling with expressing yourself fluently in English?

Do you want to build confidence speaking English, connect with people around the world or simply improve your skills for travel study, or work. Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum.

We can Plan Everything for you

Our family programmes include English courses for all the family, as well as accommodation, airport transfers and leisure activities. This programme is organised at our BELS Malta and BELS Gozo schools. Both locations are family-friendly destinations, popular with locals and visitors alike. Our school in Malta is in the sea-side town of St.Paul’s Bay, with the school and the sea always being a short walking distance away. Our school in Gozo is in a country-side location, in the rural town of Kercem. Here you can enjoy tranquil life on a small island, with a unique charm.

Lessons for parents and children will take place in the mornings, in the same building. You can focus on your English course, while knowing that your child is well taken care of and also developing their English language skills. All courses for adults and children are separated according to students’ level of English and include certificates of attendance. The courses primarily focus on developing all areas of the language, with special attention given to communication and everyday use of English.

Apart from courses, the programme includes the option of accommodation and airport transfers to make your trip as hassle-free as possible. Depending on your preferences, we can provide accumulation in our hotel residence or a private self-catering apartments. All accommodation options are within a walking distance of the school for added convenience.
