Multi-Activity Middle School Trip to Malta – Special Program for 10th Graders
This program is exclusively for students who finish the school year in mid-June and wish to prepare for their transition to 11th grade. In addition to four hours of English classes per day, students will have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of recreational activities, field trips, and evening events.
Highlights of the trip
To make it easier to get around the island, we have set up a private bus service that provides round-trip transportation to classes, activities, and evening events (when the distance requires it). At the end of each supervised evening event, each student is escorted back to the residence.
