School location

Malta is perfectly located in the middle of the Mediterranean surrounded by crystal clear blue waters. A popular tourist destination that is known for its warm climate, breathtaking landscapes and its extraordinary 7,000 years of history. It provides the perfect destination for a multi-activity holiday. Malta is also considered to be one of the safest countries in the world. The country has two official languages, English and Maltese, both languages being equally spoken across the islands.

IELS Malta is located in the popular seaside tourist town of Sliema. While the word ‘Sliema’ means peace in Maltese, the town has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Dotted with charming cafes, restaurants, gardens, and a quirky melange of old and new shops, Sliema is a bustling town that oozes local charm. Another thing that makes this vibrant locality so appealing, you’re never more than a few minutes from the sea! The Sliema promenade is a 2km seaside walk.

Dear Yuko,

Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback very constructively and use it as an opportunity for improvement. We always work on offering a wide range of activities, however, it also depends on other factors such as availability, weather conditions, number of bookings etc. Therefore, it might happen that some activities repeat.

We are always happy to discuss students’ requests in person, please feel free to talk to the Leisure Team at school reception.

Best Regards,

IELS Malta
