Together with our regular General English, ESP and Academic (IELTS, Cambridge and TOEFL) courses, we are now offering on request the following course combinations for the first time:
 

English+Diving
A combination of General or Business English and diving in the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Prominent boat and plane wrecks together with wonderful natural formations typify the Maltese diving scene. Join over 60,000 divers who visit Malta annually! Diving instruction is available for beginners.

English+Culture
A combination of English together with afternoon sessions focusing on Malta's crucial role in Mediterranean and European history followed by tours to the top sites of this ancient Island. Dubbed “the Shield of Europe”, Malta stopped the Ottoman advance into Western Europe in the 16th century and stood alone in the Mediterranean badly bruised but never beaten during both World Wars. The fine megalithic temples are the oldest buildings in the world predating the pyramids and Stonehenge by over a thousand years. Welcome to Malta... welcome to the 7th Millennium!

English+Golf
Business English courses brought to you by experienced teachers together with golfing at the Royal Malta Golf Club (1888)'s 18-hole golf course boasting well over 100 years of golfing history. The golf course is open throughout summer as well as winter thanks to Malta's mild Mediterranean climate and is only a 15-minute drive from the school.

English+IT
This course is being offered to those who wish to be well prepared for the modern world. We believe that success in today's world depends on one's skills in two particular fields - proficiency in the English language and computer literacy. These are both provided in this specially-combined course. This course is offered at different levels at the clients' request. Courses are also available for groups of school children as well as for adults. Courses focusing on particular computer programmes and applications could be booked in advance.

English on Three Islands! This is a course like no other. You start at our main Centre on the biggest island of the Maltese archipelago. Then we move on to the sun-drenched Blue Lagoon island - Comino and finally to the mythical Island of Calypso - Gozo. Your English teacher will also be your guide as you hop with ease from one island to the other! This course is available only in the summer and for groups of no more than five (or private lessons).

English+Basic
Italian While brushing up your English why not try your skills at learning the basics of the language of Dante, Leonardo and Pavarotti? Only 80km from the coast of Italy, Malta is the ideal crossroads where British and Latin cultures meet. Other languages (Spanish, French, Russian, German, Arabic and Chinese) are also available on request and can be taken on their own or in combination with English.
