Overview

BELS Gozo is a year-round, owner-run English school for adults in Kerċem, a village on Gozo. The school occupies a converted traditional house with a garden, terrace and library. Students can spend breaks outdoors or review classwork in the library, with nearby Victoria as a base for daily life. General English is available in standard groups and in smaller groups for students who prefer more opportunities to speak. It helps to compare group size and teaching time together, especially if your stay is short. Outside class, students can explore Gozo’s villages, coast and historic sites and use English in everyday settings. The Kerċem campus suits adults who prefer village life and a quieter study environment. Gozo requires an island crossing, so consider ferry times and the onward trip to your accommodation when planning arrival and departure. Families who want children to study alongside adults can ask the school about individual or semi-individual lessons for children on the dates they need.

Fees

The school’s 2026 adult packages page lists a Gozo 50+ option with General English 20, a private half-board homestay room and arrival transfer. For one to seven weeks it lists €780 for the first week and €640 for each additional week. Applying the €60 weekly low-season reduction to four weeks gives a package price of €2,460. This calculation uses the 50+ offer. Ask the school whether the same rate is available to other adults, whether accommodation covers 28 nights and whether the eco contribution is included. Flights and the optional cultural package are excluded. Check the start and end dates of tuition and accommodation separately on the quote. The 50+ social programme is a one-week add-on with specified start dates. The four-week English package does not include four weeks of social activities. Checked 8 November 2026. The first week is priced differently from later weeks. Before the low-season reduction, the four published weekly charges total €2,700.

Accommodation

Gozo homestays include a private half-board option. The address, route to class and bathroom facilities depend on the assigned household.

If booking a transfer through the school, confirm which stages of the journey to Gozo are included. BELS says its Gozo hosts are in the area around the school and nearby villages. The host guide lists linen, towels and weekly cleaning. The advertised airport route involves a road transfer to Ċirkewwa, a ferry, and another driver on Gozo.
