The Location

  • The Islands of Malta are situated in the Mediterranean Sea, about 95 km from Italy. They consist of Malta, Gozo, Comino, Comminotto & Filfla.
  • Situated on Gozo, 5 Minutes from nearest village of Kercem and 15 minutes from the capital, Victoria.
  • The official languages are English & Maltese and the islands form part of the European Union.
  • Ghawdex (pronounced "audesch") is the Maltese name for Gozo. It is approximately 14.5 km long and approximately 7.5 km wide, with a shore line of 43 km and has a population of around 28,000.
  • Gozo is a beautiful island with a quiet and different personality from Malta. It is also greener and more fertile, and portrays more of a way of life based on agriculture and fishing. Life on Gozo is slower and more relaxed than that on Malta. The people are friendly, with a fairly laid-back attitude to life that appeals to most visitors.

Accommodation

Standard Home Stay

Staying with a family is the best way to find out about family life in Gozo. Learn about the history of Gozo, its traditions, culture and food from the people that live there. Also, have plenty of time to practise your new English skills outside the classroom.

Students who opt for standard home stay will be hosted by a Gozitan family, which may be a typical ‘family’ of husband, wife and children, or a couple. 

Students are treated as though they are a member of the household and are expected to adapt to the home stay life and routine. Most host-families are open-minded, helpful, and friendly. On your first day, the family will introduce you to the household: keys, meals, etc and also provide you with information on the locality. The families provide bed sheets & towels and weekly cleaning.
