Improve your English through experiences worth having: themed workshops, a small international group and Malta discovered at a relaxed, sociable pace.
This is not a standard English course with activities added afterwards. Each week is built around one theme, and the workshops teach the English that theme needs — so the food tour, the guided walk and the conversation over dinner are part of the learning rather than what happens once it stops.
Three themed programmes, each with its own activities. Dates and prices for all three are in the table below.
Food, wine & conversation
Malta through its gastronomy — local producers, wine culture and Mediterranean hospitality.
Culture, calm & connection
The gentle side of Malta in winter, for students who enjoy history and wellbeing.
Awaken, explore & connect
Malta as it comes back to life — nature, coastal views and long sociable evenings.
The programme without a bed: workshops, the activity programme, both airport transfers and the administration fee. Everything under “What is included” below apart from accommodation.
The same programme with a single room added. Accommodation is the only difference between the two packages.
A single room with a host family, or a single room in a 3-star hotel, subject to availability — both on a bed and breakfast basis. Accommodation runs Sunday to Saturday and lessons Monday to Friday. Extra nights may be possible, subject to availability and an additional charge.

International House Malta has been welcoming students from around the world since 2003, as part of the International House World Organisation. Our teachers are CELTA qualified, and the school is small enough that you will be known by name from the day you arrive rather than counted at the door.
What a themed 50+ programme involves, who it suits, and why the format differs from a standard General English course.
Read the articleAt 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.
