Programme Details

Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College offer an International Programme designed to cater for the needs of our international students, in line with the Common European Framework of References for Languages (Council of Europe 2020).

Based on the Education ACT (CAP237) Consultation document, Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College have developed a new framework which aims at incorporating a Maltese language course. These lessons will be taught in conjunction with the choice of language opted for by the learner, against payment, as part of the International Programme.
