Hi
We have arrived in Malta!!! I am looking for a state or private school for my 15 year old daughter. Does anyone have any idea which schools are in the Balzan catchment areas? I have searched the education Dept website but the school list won't open up......I think I have to make an appointment at the education department office so will try and find a phone number for that today. I was under the impression that the schools taught most lessons in english but have just read a piece saying only private schools do. Wondering if there happens to be a state school that favours english more then maltese, as the website states it is up to the individual state school.....
I was hoping to try and get my daughter into a school now for the last few weeks to try and make a few friends before starting the new year in September. I was favouring the state school as she desperately wants to try and learn the language and thought that being around more maltese speaking children would be better. Although I am assuming the private schools still have a lot of local Maltese children attending more then the international schools. I attended school here as a child but I was a whole lot younger, so picked the language up very fast.
Thanks in advance for your help.
