## How it works

Adults join a suitable General English 20 class. Children join a dedicated junior class. The courses are scheduled at the same time so the family can organise the rest of the day together.

## A practical family option

-   Age-appropriate teaching rather than placing younger children in adult classes.
-   Online placement before arrival.
-   Course materials, Welcome Pack and Student Card.
-   Certificate and student report with 85% attendance.
-   Guidance on Malta and family-friendly ideas, while families arrange their own accommodation and activities.

## What we need from you

Tell us the ages, English levels, preferred dates and number of family members. A place is confirmed only when suitable adult and junior classes can be scheduled at the same time.

## Our promises

At IH Malta, quality teaching is not a claim but a standard we are held to. The school is licensed by Malta’s ELT Council and has been an affiliate of the International House World Organisation since 2003, one of the most respected networks in English language teaching worldwide. Every one of our teachers is CELTA-qualified, and our lessons are built around communicative, practical work connected to real situations rather than rote learning. Students are carefully placed by level, encouraged to participate actively from the first day, and supported by regular testing and individual feedback so that progress is measurable rather than assumed. Behind the classroom, a full academic, administration, accommodation and activities team ensures that each student’s experience is as well organised as their studies.

## FAQs

**Are activities included in the Family Programme?**

No. Families organise their own activities, although the IH Malta team can provide general guidance.

**Can my child join the Family Programme without a parent?**

No. Children joining the Family Programme must travel and stay with a parent or legal guardian. A limited option may be available for independent 17-year-olds, as explained on the Young Learners page.

Each family member attends 20 lessons per week. Adults join General English 20, while children follow a dedicated junior General English 20 programme.
