It is well known that Malta is one of the three countries in Europe where English is an official language, and its education system follows authentic British education. With the rise of immigration to Malta, more and more people are moving to Malta to provide their children with quality education at an earlier age.
So, what is the situation with private secondary schools in Malta? How to address the learning issues after the children enter the country has become a pressing concern for parents. Secondary education in Malta is compulsory from ages 11 to 16. It mainly imparts specialized knowledge, with courses including languages, mathematics, science, humanities, and arts. Private schools also provide targeted individual tutoring based on each student's learning ability and specific circumstances to enhance their learning capabilities.
