About ACE English
You learn English in San Ġiljan (St Julian's), on Malta's northern coast, at a school built inside the modern Bay Street Complex, with the beach about 100 metres from the door so you can swim or sunbathe around your lessons.
Your classes stay small, averaging 11 students and never rising above 15, taught as part of EAQUALS-accredited English courses in a building with a library, lounges and a terrace, surrounded by the bars, restaurants and shops of St Julian's.
Is ACE English right for you?
ACE suits sociable students who want their English lessons wrapped around beach days and a lively St Julian's nightlife scene. If you're after a quiet, traditional campus, you may be better served elsewhere.
A good fit if you…
- Want beach access right by the school
- Enjoy a social, lively atmosphere
- Prefer small, personal class sizes
- Like being based in a busy neighbourhood
- Want modern facilities and technology in class
Keep in mind…
- Lively, built-up setting, not a quiet retreat
- Limited accessibility on site

What classes are like at ACE English
Classes here run small, averaging 11 students and never rising above 15, so lessons stay conversational and interactive. Group lessons run between 08:00 and 18:45, depending on your course and level. General English 30 combines 20 core lessons with 10 additional afternoon speaking lessons. Some afternoon blocks run from 11:45 to 15:00, others from 15:30 to 18:45, with morning and afternoon sessions mixed according to level. Your level is worked out through an online test and a short oral conversation before you arrive, and your timetable is grouped by level and assigned on your first day.

Your first day at ACE English
Before lessons start, you sit a short entry test so the school can confirm your level rather than guess at it. From there you meet your teacher, who talks through what you want to get out of your time in San Ġiljan and agrees a set of learning goals with you.
-
Sit an entry test on arrival so the school can assess your level.
-
Sit down with a teacher to discuss your learning needs and agree your goals for the course.
Social life at ACE English
The student community here is genuinely international, with no single nationality dominating, though clusters of students arrive from Brazil and Turkey alongside a wide spread of other countries. Most students are adults in their twenties and thirties, with smaller numbers of younger and older learners rounding out the mix. Students cross paths outside the timetable through the school's fixed weekly activity programme, its welcome party, and the terrace, lounge and library where people tend to gather between classes. ACE also opens a Facebook group before your trip begins, so conversations with other incoming students can start before you land in Malta. Here is how that meeting actually happens.
