School

The language school is contained within two buildings facing each other in the heart of St Julians, only a stone's throw away from the bus station. There are a total of 60 spacious, bright and air-conditioned classrooms, eight of which are especially designed to accommodate small groups or one-to-one classes. Between classes, you can relax and enjoy the superb view from the rooftop terrace, or go to one of the cafés on the ground level. A language resource centre with video material, a library, computers with Internet access as well as a reading or study room are made readily available to you by the school. EC proposes a complete range of courses which will suit as much students who wish to work intensively on the language (mini groups, one-to-one lessons) as those who need to unwind and learn whilst adopting a Mediterranean lifestyle.

Accommodation

Host family
The best way to practise your English and to gain a better understanding of the Maltese culture is to stay with a host family. The school visits all of the host families to make sure that they are providing students with a warm, comfortable and friendly environment. The families offer half board and a single or double room. They are located between 10-20 minutes' walking distance or by bus from the school. In summer, the journey may be slightly longer.
EC also proposes the "up-market" option which will suit more demanding adult students. Private bathrooms, and a higher level of comfort and luxury are the elements which characterise this option.

Residence (recommended 18-25 years)
Our partner school has two residences located 20 minutes' walk or 10 minutes by bus away from the school. They are refurbished 2 star hotels, which are simple but clean, comfortable and enjoy a central location. The Internet is accessible at a small cost thanks to the computers in the residences or with the WiFi connection. This option does not include meals on account of the numerous inexpensive restaurants and cafés situated nearby. Students can also use the common kitchen. They stay in single or double rooms. Each bedroom has a private bathroom.

Shared apartment (recommended 18-25 years)
The accommodation option of sharing with other students is proposed throughout the year. All of the apartments are equipped with a kitchen with a dining room, two or more bedrooms and a shared bathroom. It is possible to stay in a single or double room. Most of the apartments are located only a few minutes' walking distance away from the school, but during the high season, the bus journey can take up to 30 minutes.
Please note: a supplement is to be paid on site for air-conditioning.

Hotel
The island of Malta has dozens of hotels for all tastes and all budgets. We are at your disposal for further information.

Leisure

Malta is full of leisure possibilities, and EC offers activities to suit all tastes. Lovers of historic buildings will enjoy the numerous churches and other monuments that bear witness to all the great Empires who dreamed of one day dominating the Mediterranean. Sports fans will be satisfied on land as well as on water, and the underwater world is also to be discovered. You can dance the night away with thousands of other students from all over the world, or enjoy the tranquillity of a nocturnal boat trip. EC has its own private beach, equipped with beach mats, sun umbrellas and showers, accessible to students at a small entry price, just a few minutes from the school on foot. Stone beaches or swimming pools are waiting for you, and the crystal clear waters of the bay offer excellent conditions for diving.
