The most popular choice of accommodation for our students is the School Residence which is located right next to the school (only 3 minutes from bedroom to classroom!) and is available on half board basis (breakfast & lunch) and B&B basis (breakfast only) and cooking facilities are also available. All bedrooms at the school residence are fully air-conditioned (heating/cooling) and FREE Wi-Fi is accessible from all bedrooms and common areas. This accommodation is available for adults (18+), as well as families wishing to stay as close to the school as possible when travelling with their children on family programmes. We offer single rooms, twin rooms, triple rooms and quadruple rooms.
Thanks to the residence, students wishing to live close to the school are guaranteed excellent service, speed of access to the school (less than 30 metres and only 3 minutes from bedroom to classroom!) and the relaxation that comes with not needing to plan your means of travel to and from your place of study.
Very conveniently, the school and the residence are situated within easy walking distance of the island’s most popular tourist areas, with the nearest beaches and top recreational/shopping centre (with plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants) which is only 12 minutes away on foot (walking distance), known as Spinola Bay in the city of St Julian’s. In addition, Valletta, Malta’s capital city, is less than half an hour away by bus from where our students learn and live. These can all be reached very easily thanks to the easy access to the public transport network, with bus stop ‘Baltiku’ (bus number 120) only 2 minutes on foot from the school and the residence. There is also a direct bus (number 22) to Valletta and bus stop ‘Anard’ is only 5 minutes on foot from the school and accommodation.
Both the school and residence are located in an upmarket villa area in St Julian’s, which is well-known for its beautiful houses and quiet environs. The surrounding environment provides the right atmosphere for our students to comfortably focus on their studies without noise and distraction, and yet remains within easy reach of the cosmopolitan hustle and bustle in the downtown part of St Julian’s (minutes away on foot).
Adjacent to the school, the school residence provides a clean, comfortable and modern home for those students who choose to live as close as possible to the school, with only a 3-minute walk from bedroom to classroom, and in the peace and quiet that is possible in a residence reserved exclusively for adults and families (any minors must always be accompanied by their parents/guardians and are never unattended).
The building itself is a fully detached, three-floor structure made out of local Maltese limestone and has 22 oak-furnished bedrooms (6 double rooms, 12 triple rooms and 4 quadruple rooms), and 8 bathrooms. A big bonus is that, unlike in most other places of accommodation (including host families), all bedrooms are fully air-conditioned (coin operated – you need to insert the coins to use the air-conditioner at an extra charge) all the year round (therefore allowing both heating and cooling). Students have their own desk, chair, wardrobe and locker. Bed linen is changed once a week and towels twice a week. Single rooms are available in the low season (winter/autumn/spring) and high season (summer) at an extra supplement. Common areas include 4 TV rooms, outdoor recreational patios and the in-house canteen in which breakfast is served. Free Wi-Fi is accessible all over the building.
The communal kitchen where students can prepare their own meals can be found at ground floor level, in the same place where breakfast is served.
Breakfast is served daily in the canteen between 7:30 hrs and 9:00 hrs
Residence Amenities & Facilities
The communal kitchen at Ground Floor Level:
The cooking facilities can be found in the canteen at ground floor level where breakfast is served. Kitchen lockers where you can store your food, cooking utensils and cutlery are provided for each bedroom. The key for the locker can be found in your bedroom. Please make sure your food is clearly labelled in a bag to avoid mixing it up with other students’ food stored in the same locker. In the kitchen area you will have cooking stations consisting of ceramic hot plates and microwave ovens as well as refrigerators. Basic kitchen utensils such as frying pans, knives and forks and pots are provided for each bedroom. The kitchen is open daily between 9am and 9pm.
Food cannot be taken out of the kitchen area. Cooked food cannot be taken inside the bedrooms / common areas. It is strictly forbidden to eat the self-prepared meals in the bedrooms or common areas.
Cleanliness on the residence premises is a priority. Please make sure you clean any kitchen utensils before putting them back in the cupboard after use. Food cannot be left lying around in the kitchen area and please make sure you keep clean at all times. The kitchen area is monitored by CCTV cameras at all times. The kitchen is also cleaned and monitored daily by the school residence cleaning staff.
