The English school in Swieqi is a large residential complex. The classrooms, facilities and accommodations are all in the same complex. Living and studying in the same building minimises the time and cost of travel and enables you to use all the facilities of the school. The school environment is very international but the number of Spanish students in high season is quite high throughout the island. In October 2013, students at the school were of 25 different nationalities, the majority came from Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Spain; Switzerland and Turkey.

Swieqi is located in the northwest of Malta, one of the most popular residential areas of the island.
A 5-10 minute walk, you can reach the area of the Maltese nightlife Paceville, St. Julian's where there are a variety of clubs, bars, restaurants and cafes that make this place one of the most popular Mediterranean areas devoted to leisure and entertainment.
About 15 minutes by bus is Sliema, Malta's most important shopping area. Swieqi name means "water channels": a reference to the past of this region.
Malta is an island with lots going on and lots of atmosphere. The main street to go out on is St Julian street. On this street is where most of the clubs and gambling dens are, so you will spend most of your nightlife here. Normally this is where people go after "heated engines" on rigor stop at the beach.
Paradise Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches in Malta. To reach the bay, a bit hidden, go to the penultimate stop of line 645, before Cirkewwa. From there, walk on the path for a mile to discover a flight of stairs. We recommend going during the week because the weekend it is very busy. It is also advisable that you wear goggles.
Ghajn Tuffieha Bay is next to Golden Bay, but with more charm to separate from it being a trail. This pretty bay has the backdrop of hills and cliffs that extend in both directions.
What catches the attention of the Blue Lagoon are the dazzling turquoise waters. To enjoy it you have to get to Comino. Despite not being a fully-fledged beach, in the summer, the smooth rocks are crowded. It is also great to swim with goggles. A perfect place to photograph and admire the peaceful Mediterranean from the highest cliffs.
