The archipelago of Malta consists of three main islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino. They are situated in the middle of the Mediterranean, very close to Sicily. From all three islands Malta is the biggest one and enjoys a Mediterranean climate with a lot of sun for approximately 8 months of the year which makes it a perfect destination for a school trip with English immersion.

With regard to the strategic situation, Malta can look back to a turbulent history. It was conquered by many countries but finally gained independence in 1964. In its heritage; Malta is one of only a few really bilingual countries.

Besides the Maltese Islands being a feast for the senses, the contrast of the deep blue of both sky and sea competes with the mellow honey-coloured limestone which is characteristic of Maltese architecture.

Valletta is the capital of Malta and only a few kilometers away from the airport.

For the past few years some low cost companies operate direct flights from spring to late autumn from many European cities to Malta.

Malta has a lot to offer young learners, with historical paths to follow in Valletta and Mdina and many fun – and sport activities on land and water. As the island is small everything is reachable within a short time and makes it possible to explore the island even during a short stay.
