Malta Paradise Bay Summer School is a seasonal language center offering English programs for children and teenagers aged 8-17 years old.

Located in Malta, the school has been organizing exciting summer holidays for students from all over the world for many years. These programs are an excellent opportunity not only to see one of the favorite places of tourists on the planet but also to effectively improve your English language skills — the course schedule combines language classes with a variety of entertainment activities and excursions.

One of the advantages of summer courses is individual attention to each student, by providing support in the classroom and beyond. Qualified teachers with International House certification help students adapt to a new place and integrate into the team, study difficult topics for them and expand their vocabulary in areas they are interested in. They accompany students during extracurricular activities and maintain a friendly atmosphere — students often return to the language center next year to have fun again with familiar teachers and friends.

Parents can accompany their children on vacation if they wish by booking accommodation at Paradise Bay Resort for the same dates.

During the studying period, students are accommodated in a spacious, comfortable family hotel Paradise Bay Resort, located with a view of Gozo and Comino Islands, on the Mediterranean coast. Students occupy furnished three- or four-bed rooms, which have a bathroom with a shower cabin, balcony, air conditioning. The following are available for common use by residents of the hotel:

• Several restaurants,
• Three outdoor swimming pools with spacious terraces and sun loungers,
• Large indoor swimming pool,
• Tennis court,
• Children's playground,
• Rest areas with board games,
• Souvenir and grocery stores,
• Private hotel beach.

Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

Students are provided with daily three meals: breakfast and dinner are always provided buffet style, and lunch — as a packed lunch, if students have an excursion planned on that day.

The leisure program provides separate timed events for students of different ages — 8-12 and 13-17 years old, ensuring a maximum comfortable atmosphere. Every day, at least two events are organized for students from an extensive list:

• Kayaking,
• Sea trip to Comino Island,
• Karaoke night,
• Sports training (in a game format),
• Excursion to Valletta,
• Tour of Malta,
• Pool games,
• Trip to Marfa Bay,
• Bowling,
• Barbecue evening,
• Beach vacation.

Many of them are mandatory for participation, but they are invariably warmly welcomed by students, as they contribute to maintaining student activity and a friendly atmosphere in the team, receiving positive emotions from staying at the language center.

Students can only leave the campus accompanied by an employee.

• Intensive programs with an interactive approach to learning English,
• Certified teachers, often young professionals with International House qualifications,
• Courses are available for students of any level,
• Personalized learning in small groups.

Language classes are conducted at the Paradise Bay Resort hotel, located in the north of Malta Island, literally 100 meters from the sea coast. It is a 5-minute drive from Mellieha and Armier bays, two minutes from the bus stop in Cirkewwa — buses will help students get to more remote points on the island, such as St. Julian's (25 minutes away).

Four spacious classrooms with interactive whiteboards and a spacious assembly hall have been prepared for studying. The hotel grounds include tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, several restaurants and recreation areas available in extracurricular time.

The seasonal course runs from June to August, offering flexibility in choosing the duration of study. A balanced schedule includes daily morning or afternoon English lessons, two recreational activities (one on campus, the other — on the beach or as part of an excursion), and free time for communication and relaxation.

The cost already includes expenses for accommodation and meals, excursions and campus events, airport transfers, and travel insurance. Additional costs include educational materials, registration fee, and personal expenses.

The admissions committee expects candidates to submit a completed registration form, personal documents and paid tuition fee, after which it provides detailed information about arrival in Malta. Admission of new students is possible subject to availability of places in groups.

Upon arrival at the campus, students take a language test to determine their current language level, are assigned to groups and begin training.

Upon completing the program, students receive a graduation certificate confirming their language progress. Thanks to immersion in the language environment and regular conversational practice, students effectively improve their English skills and maintain motivation for further study.

Summer courses do not have strict requirements for applicants: students need a foreign passport, medical insurance, a visa or residence permit to spend time in Malta. The programs are suitable for students with any level of English proficiency corresponding to the age range of 8-17 years.
