When you y over Malta, two colours dominate the landscape, the brilliant blue of the sea and sky, and the warm honey colour of the local stone. The islands fascinating history dates back 7000 years; it is a timeless kaleidoscope of different civilisations. Probably the greatest impact in Maltas history was made on the arrival of the Knights of St John in 1530. They reigned over Malta for over two and a half centuries. For some 160 years, Malta formed part of the British Empire after the King helped rid Malta of the French. In 1964, Malta became independent, a Republic in 1974, remaining a member of the British Commonwealth and in 2004, the Island became a member of the European Union Malta has a wonderful climate. It is a sea lovers paradise. With 200km of coastline and a warm clear blue sea you can swim, dive and sail virtually all the year round For those with an interest in archaeology, there are many ancient temples, megalithic standing stones and catacombs. The most spectacular site is Hagar Qim near the enchanting Blue Grotto. The Hypogeum in Tarxien is awesome and the Catacombs in Rabat are well worth a visit If its nightlife youre after, Paceville, St Julians is the place where you will nd discos, clubs, bars, movie theatres and some of the islands best restaurants.

accommodation & student welfare

Host families

The learning of a language does not only take place in a classroom, it spills out over

lesson time and continues in the streets, at the shops, in the bars and, most importantly, at your home. For this reason nothing compares to the all-round learning experience you can receive through staying with a host family. Our host families are rigorously selected to make sure that they will be a second home-from-home for the student. They are chosen on the basis of their openness to newcomers and their ability to provide their guests with all the amenities and services they are used to within their own homes. Students take an active part in the daily lives of the families, joining them for meals, where they can talk with their host-parents about what went on during their day, or enjoying a relaxing lm on TV in the evening. Families use English exclusively around students, so students have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the language and will maybe learn a little about our traditions and way of life at the same time, taking home with them a wealth of knowledge unobtainable through other forms of accommodation. Chamber College offers its students a wide range of accommodation options - from host families to 5 star international hotels - all within walking distance of the college. Whatever accommodation you choose, you will be living in an English-speaking environment where you can practise your English language skills.

All rooms have a fully-equipped kitchen, lounge and bathroom. There is a TV in each apartment and linen is changed every week.

timetable of excursions after lessons and at the weekends

The choice of activity is unlimited whatever you want to learn about and experience, we will do our best to organise for you
