When choosing to stay with a Maltese English-speaking family, students have the unique opportunity to share and experience the day to day life of a local family together with all the diversity of the Maltese culture.
Whilst staying in a host family, students will be able to enjoy the full Embassy Summer experience by joining in all organised activities.
Special dietary requirements may be accommodated subject to availability at a fee per week.
Breakfast

Once at school, students will take a one-hour placement test that assesses their grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking. Students are tested so they can be placed in the best class for their English level.
They will then attend an induction session delivered by an Embassy Summer staff member, which lasts approximately 30 minutes.
