If I had a chance to choose a language school again, I would do the same and go to the Gateway School of English again. It is a wonderful place to be, to learn, to gain life experience. I came alone to the School and stayed at the School Residence... But I never was alone :) After one hour being at the Residence, I met people from all aver the world. It is easy to make new friendships there because all the people are really open and want to speak English. :) The atmosphere at the School and at the Residence made me feel welcome the whole time. The organisation team always cares about how are you, how do you feel. The teachers are amazing! We had very interesting classes with a lot of activities and learned a lot! The cultural and activity program from the School is fantastic, of course it is optional, but I would recommend to do it! It was really great to travel with another students after lessons and to learn about Malta from the School guides. The time passed so quickly, I am really grateful to all the organisation team, all the teachers, all my new friends for the unforgettable time and experience. Gateway School is doing a great job! I am much obliged :) Your Ekaterina

We had two really good teachers Jamie and Gabrielle, we learned a lot from them, in the same time laughed a lot during their classes. The atmosphere in the school is great in general, the staff pays personal attention to the students. All in all it was great experience for us that we truly recommend. :)

I’m sorry to say but the organization of the company is almost off limits. On the first you have to wait for at least 2 hours to something to happen. On a normals school day the bus could be at least 20 minute late. On full day trip the bus could be late for 45-50 minutes and it could happend that the capacity of the bus is less there people. So people have to sit in group of 3 in a 2 seat place(which can be pretty uncomfortable if traveling to a more than 10 minutes places) or you have to wait for another bus. The group leaders never know what to do because they hadn’t been told about the specific of the trip. School is equipped and the teachers are friendly and they now how to teach well. All in all I would not recommend this company for any of my friends. If all your concerns is to get a good English classes in school than I could recommend it to you with a huge pinch of salt. Side note: The parts I didn’t mansions had no problem at all.

If you want to learn English and have a funny holiday you have to choose this school. I spent one month last summer, I started this adventure alone but after few days I met a fantastic people from different countries and it was really nice, now we still keep in touch ❤️ about of school, I can say that everything is fantastic, from personal, teachers, kitchen to residence (if I can give advice... Choose a room in the residence, it is better than family accommodation)....then.... Malta is very FANTASTIC island... You have to go there!!! Surely, I will back ❤️
