Parent and Child/Family Programme


It’s an undeniable fact that more and more parents are opting to join their children on English Language trips to Malta and Gozo. Precisely for this reason, Gateway School of English, itself a family-run establishment, offers a course of study that allows parents to bring their young children along with them to learn English, using facilities on the premises that ensure a flexible and enjoyable stay.

Mindful of the specific requirements of an individual family or of a parent & child core, we offer various attractive possibilities. Private tuition for juniors and group courses for parents, or else, leisure activities for children while parents follow an English course, are a few examples of what GSE has available.  We also can also organise daycare nursery services for very young children while parents are attending lessons. Moreover, we even offer B&B bed and breakfast accommodation with kitchen facilities in our school residence (located right next to the school) for children under 13 years of age, when these are accompanied by their parents.

As Gateway School and its Residence (only 3 minutes from bedroom to classroom!) are fully equipped with free Wi-Fi, families are able to stay in touch with business, friends and relatives from the comfort of their own rooms. Our School is dedicated to a service of excellence because family values are at the heart of our mission statement. Apart fro the school residence we also offer homestay accommodation for families travelling with children within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from school, self catering apartments in the vicinity of the school as well as a choice of three, four and five star hotel accommodation in St Julian’s & Sliema.
