ENGLISH: KIDS & TEENS EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

2. Welcome Welcome to the heart and soul of the Mediterranean,
Malta . A sunny island offering all the perks of blissful
beach life coupled with the solid authenticity of the English
Language. NSTS is here to guide you through this unique
sensation of what we like to call a “learning holiday”. We are
here to ensure that you strike the right balance between
practising and improving your English language skills and
enjoying the culturally rich, vibrant atmosphere this fun
loving archipelago proposes.
With a population of around 400,000 people, Malta can
be seen as one big family. Friendly people, hearty food and
picturesque scenery are but a few of what you will be able to
enjoy during your visit. Let us tempt you with a few more fun
facts about this precious island:
• 300 Days of sunshine and warm seas – Malta may be the
smallest nation within the European Union, but that only
continues to accentuate its attribute of having the best
climate in the world. This means that it acts as an idyllic
background setting for swimming, sunbathing, exciting
water sports, entertaining beach parties and innovative
cultural tours. Being so practically sized as an island Malta,
provides you with the opportunity to have a two in one
holiday- learning English and soaking up the sun.
Malta’s warm climate extends itself to the rest of the year,
offering you enjoyable outdoor life with cool bars and
cafes for you to hang about and practise your English with
friends.
• We speak English – You will find that in Malta everyone
speaks English, starting from the more obvious ones
like teachers and hosts to the man in the corner shop
and even the bus drivers! English being Malta’s official
language alongside Maltese makes Malta an excellent
choice for you to improve your English language fluency.
• Fascinating evening lifestyle – The islands offer you an
infinite number of street parties, traditional village festas,
live music gigs, mega concerts, discos, jamming sessions,
open-air theatre and buzzing entertainment. If anything,
you will certainly feel spoilt for choice.
• 7 millennia of history – Malta is described as an open-air
museum sharing with its guests 7000 years of history and
8 UNESCO heritage sites. Interactive attractions and
lively Malta allows you travel back to the past and to relive
exciting moments which have shaped the Mediterranean
lifestyle as we know it today.
• Keeping in shape – Since it is a given fact that you will
be greatly enjoying your food in Malta, we thought it
fit to inform you that the island is equipped with sports
grounds, gymnasia, swimming pools, sea, countryside and
fitness centres to keep you smiling and in good health.
• Smart Island – Malta may be a standalone island, but the
extensive number of Wi-Fi spots and internet cafes will
keep you connected to your friends and loved ones back
home. You can almost say that they can be virtually on
holiday with you.
