About ACE English Malta
ACE English Malta is an English language school located in the town of St Julian’s, in the heart of St George’s Bay. The school was founded in 2013 on the fourth floor of the Bay Street Complex, a shopping centre a stone’s throw from Paceville. It offers nine course formats for adults all year round, and for children and teenagers during the summer: General English for ages 16-29 and 30+, a junior programme (13-17), a family and kids option (3-12), Business English, exam preparation, group courses, one-to-one courses and English teacher training.
The school is modern and has 25 classrooms for teaching English, fitted with interactive whiteboards. Adult classes hold an average of 15 students, while children’s and teenagers’ classes are capped at 15 students, allowing teachers to follow each student’s progress individually. ACE describes itself as a “boutique” school and looks after its common areas: Wi-Fi throughout the building, a 12-station internet café, a mini-library, lounge areas with vending machines, and a large terrace to unwind between lessons.

Reviews of ACE English Malta
ACE English Malta is one of the best-rated English schools in Malta, and that reputation rests first of all on its teaching team: committed, skilled and approachable teachers. The international atmosphere, the activity programme offered almost every day and the modern feel of the classrooms are also constants. One small caveat: in adult courses, class sizes are larger than at other schools that cap classes at 12 students. The reservations, in the minority, target the admin side rather than the lessons: sometimes slow administration, poorly announced changes of teachers or timetables, and residence accommodation that falls short of the school’s standard.
