One-to-One General English 30 lessons per week

Some students prefer the ‘homestay solution’ because it enables them to interact more actively with the local culture and ensure total English language immersion. The homestay solution means that you will live in with meticulously selected host families in homes within 5 minutes walking distance from the school. Remember, the School is situated in a high quality neighbourhood!

All families (without exception) hosting our students have been personally known to us for years. The best proof of our students’ satisfaction with these families is the fact that they recommend them to their friends when these come to study here. All our host families are native English speakers. We know them so well that we can match students’ individual preferences with the most suitable family for them.

In addition, Valletta, Malta’s capital city, is less than half an hour away by bus from where our students learn and live.

The school residence staff always strive to provide just the service you need and make your stay at the residence as comfortable as possible. Staff and management alike are there to help you at all times.

Residence Location
Very conveniently, the school is situated within easy walking distance of the island’s most popular tourist resort, nearest beach and top recreational/shopping centre (with plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants): Spinola Bay in the city of St Julian’s, which is only 12 minutes away on foot. In addition, none of Malta’s major cultural and historical places of interest, some of which are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are more than half an hour away from where our students learn and live. These can all be reached very easily thanks to the easy access to the public transport network, with bus stop ‘Baltiku’ (bus number 120) only 2 minutes away from the school and the residence.

Residence Premises
Adjacent to the school, the school residence provides a clean, comfortable and modern home for those students at GSE who choose to live as close as possible to the school, with just a 3-minute walk from bedroom to classroom, and in the peace and quiet that is possible in a residence reserved exclusively for adults and families (any minors must always be accompanied by their parents/guardians and are never unattended).

The building itself is a fully detached, three-floor structure made out of local Maltese limestone and has 22 oak-furnished bedrooms (6 double rooms, 12 triple rooms and 4 quadruple rooms), and 8 bathrooms. A big bonus is that, unlike in most other places of accommodation (including host families), all bedrooms are fully air-conditioned all the year round. Students have their own desk, chair, wardrobe and locker. Bed linen is changed once a week and towels twice a week. Single rooms are available in the low season (winter/autumn/spring) and high season (summer) at an extra supplement. Common areas include 4 TV rooms, outdoor recreational patios and the in-house canteen in which breakfast and lunch are served. Free Wi-Fi is accessible all over the building.

Residence Meals
Accommodation is available on half board basis and includes breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is served daily in the canteen between 8:00 hrs and 9:00 hrs, while lunch is served in the canteen from Monday to Friday (schooldays only) between 12:15 hrs and 13:15 hrs. [Packed lunch only on Saturdays and Sundays which has to be collected during breakfast.]

Breakfast is a buffet and consists of scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, toasted bread, jam, butter, ham, salami & cheese, choice of cereals, tea/coffee, choice of cakes and free flow of orange juice and water.
Lunch is a three-course meal comprising freshly prepared soup, a choice of six different dishes (meat/chicken/fish, cold salads, pasta, baked potatoes or chips etc.), and a sweet dessert or seasonal fruit.
See this video to get a better idea of what lunchtime looks like in our canteen:

It is therefore not self-catering and does not include facilities such as kitchenettes, related kitchen equipment (for example microwaves), or self-service launderettes (washing machines, tumble dryers etc.), as an alternative laundry service is provided by the residence staff. There are, however, kettles and fridges available for use in the TV rooms, where a few items of food and groceries can be kept if students decide to buy some snacks or drinks. For those who enjoy going out for dinner in the evenings, or who might want to order a takeaway delivery every now and then, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby to choose from.
