The NSTS

The pioneer

The NSTS - English Language Institute was founded in 1963 and was the first English Language school to operate in Malta. We adopted a policy of quality that reverberated internationally and fostered a steady increase in demand. 20 years or so later NSTS expanded into providing tuition all year round while others started to open summer schools and replicate programmes.

The founder of FELTOM


NSTS founded the Federation of English Language Teaching Organisations (FELTOM) in 1989 to promote quality standards nationally. It endowed it with codes of conduct for good practices, led it over the years into becoming internationally recognised as the quality overseer for Malta, and into the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Tourism enacting legislation specific to English Language Teaching (ELT).

NSTS-English Language Institute today

NSTS maintains its academic leadership as it renews itself through a critical process of reviews of its teaching methodologies and analyses developments in the market place to maintain relevance to the current needs of its learners. Its International Teacher Training Centre prepares prospective teachers for local qualifications and the renowned international teaching certificate of the University of Cambridge (CELTA).
