Living with a host family offers students the opportunity to practice the English language outside the classroom in a safe, family environment. Apart from being completely immersed in the language and benefitting from out-of-class opportunities to learn English, they will also experience living in a Maltese home and learning about Maltese culture, food and traditions. Our friendly and welcoming host families are hand-picked by BELS staff who make sure that our host-families are open-minded, helpful and friendly..

Students are treated as though they are a member of the household and are expected to adapt to the home stay life and routine. On your first day, the family will introduce you to the household: keys, meals, etc. and also provide you with information on the locality. The families provide bed sheets & towels and weekly cleaning. Students will receive a Host Family Profile of their host family with their booking confirmation.
