The school is located in the heart of Malta's capital – Valletta. European Capital of Culture for 2018, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was built by the Knights of Malta in the 15th century. Its buildings are Baroque, and the city's architecture makes it feel like an open-air museum. It is listed among the top 20 UNESCO heritage cities you must visit. This Western European island lies in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Italy – a warm and wonderful place for rest and relaxation, which makes it the ideal destination for language vacations.
The building that houses the school was built in 1900.
