Public primary schools teaching in English? by GuestPoster11415
Hi all, I am new to this forum, and looking to move to Malta in 2014. I have a 5 year old son who is currently attending Junior infants here in Ireland, and was wondering if there is any public school in Malta that would teach in English. My ...
