Hi all,
We are a family of four who have been presented with an opportunity to relocate to Malta but as you can imagine have so many things to consider.
We have been reading many posts on the forums and it appears there are a lot of other Expats who have already made the move on here who have been very helpful to others so we are hoping we can get some helpful info to make our final decision on the move.
We would really appreciate it if some of you could help with some queries we have:
* We would be looking to move our children (aged 6 and 11) into state schools close together which teach in English, it appears that the main areas are Pembroke and St. Paul's Bay for this? Can anyone confirm this and advise on any other good state schools suitable for English speaking expats? We really like the look of Mellieha but does anyone know if the schools are suitable in this region?
* I would be working in Birkirkara and would prefer somewhere not too much of a drive each morning (30 - 40 minutes in traffic) however, our main priority would be living in a nice, safe area for children with good state schools suitable for expats. Do any of you have similar circumstances to that of our family who can vouch for a region of Malta that has worked really well for you?
* My wife would not be working in Malta and whilst the children are at school she would like to meet other expat women in similar situations to socialise with and help us settle into the area. We would therefore really like to also be in an area with many other expats, do you know which areas of Malta would be best for this?
We appreciate there is so much information available already on this forum but we would be so grateful if anyone who has faced a similar situation to ourselves could give some guidance and recommendations to us based upon the above.
Clearly we will check all the schools and areas out ourselves before any decision is made but if any of you could give us some tips and ideas of where would suit us best of all, we can make sure these are the ones we look at when we visit.
We look forward to hearing from you and to potentially meeting some of you when we are in Malta
Many thanks,
Manxy
