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.
