Positively Languages has launched new school premises in London and Malta following its acquisition by Inspirit Capital. The expansion aims to accommodate growing demand for its English, French, and German language courses.

The group's rebrand and site expansion are intended to support future growth with a focus on experience-led learning products. These additions aim to increase capacity for international students seeking language instruction in key global hubs.
The expansion includes 25 new classrooms in St Julian's, Malta, and 8 classrooms at 4 Bloomsbury Place in London, supplementing the existing facility at 5 Bloomsbury Place. The group offers instruction in English, French, and German.

The details
The London expansion functions by adding capacity at 4 Bloomsbury Place directly adjacent to the existing school at number 5.
