Homestay Accommodation

A warm welcome, caring environment and immersion into the English language are just a few things that homestay accommodation offers. The ideal choice for young students aged 15-18, homestay accommodation gives visitors the opportunity to experience our lifestyle at first-hand and get an insight into our culture and traditions.

Our caring hosts provide our young students aged 15-18 with the additional security of a home atmosphere and the chance to share their new experiences with students from a different linguistic and cultural background. For over 30 years, Alpha School of English has provided quality accommodation to thousands of foreign students including school children, university students and professionals wishing to experience the Maltese way of life at an affordable price.

Our hosts are warm, welcoming, open-minded people who take both pride and pleasure in sharing their knowledge of the English language as well as our history and culture. Indeed, many of our hosts have established long-term friendships with our students which continue after our students have returned home.

Most of our homestay accommodations are located in the St Paul’s Bay area for easy access to our language school, local attractions and the sandy beaches in the vicinity. Throughout the year our Accommodation Department works closely with our hosts and regularly updates our homestay accommodation register. We do our best to match students with suitable hoestays according to individual preferences, and we can also provide digital photos of all homes. Our Accommodation Officer regularly visits and inspects all hosts. Students who book homestays must also book an arrival airport transfer to ensure safe arrival at the accommodation.

Children below 15 years must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian on the island for the whole homestay period.
