Besides, many parents with children choose the Maltese Residency program, as the Maltese education system is built upon a British education system. Malta offers a great variety of private, public, and international schools and universities. Parents can be sure that their children will get the essential foundation for future success as the classes are delivered in English and Malta is renowned for its top standards.
