Overview

Gateway School of English is in San Ġwann, Malta. The GSE student residence is close to the school, and the nearby bus stop is Baltiku. Afternoon and evening activities offer opportunities to spend time with other learners outside class. General English develops everyday communication together with vocabulary and grammar. Students who want more speaking time can choose the intensive option with additional conversation classes. The residence suits students who want to stay close to school, while homestay offers daily life with a local household. The school is in a residential neighbourhood close to St Julian’s Bay. Its campus guide lists air-conditioned classrooms, a lounge, a courtyard, computers for independent study and a lending library. Check opening hours if you plan to study on campus after class. Academic staff can help with questions about lesson content or class level. Gateway also runs a programme for parents and children studying at the same time. The children’s venue varies by season. In July and August, classes use a primary school in San Ġwann, a 10–15 minute walk from the main building. Families can check the children’s venue and the route from the residence when planning their stay.
