School

Our ACE partner school in Brisbane is located at the very heart of the city, overlooking ANZAC Park. The language school building is located just opposite the central train station and the main bus lines, so it is easily reached from all parts of the city. The school's facilites include a multimedia room, a language lab, a DVD room, and Internet access for students. During their free time, students can go to relax and chat with each other in the common rooms of the school or else visit the numerous cafés and restaurants nearby. For shopping and going out in the evenings, the school is also conveniently located near the famous Queen Street district.

Accommodation

Host family
Living with a host family during your stay in Brisbane is an excellent way of discovering the Australian lifestyle and will allow you to practise English outside of class in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. The families are carefully selected by our partner school and generally live around 30 minutes away from the language school building. You will stay in a single room with half board during the week and full board at weekends, and will share the common rooms with your host family.

Residence (from 18 years)
Our partner school also proposes accommodation in various student residences or youth hostels. Contact us for further information.

Leisure

Thanks to the “Boomerang Club”, our partner school offers you an excellent leisure activities programme. Almost every day of the week you will have the chance to participate in at least one sports, social or cultural activity, not to mention the weekend excursions and the memorable parties organised by the school. Brisbane has an ideal location which allows you to easily head off on the discovery of the east coast, to places such as Noosa, which is only two hours' drive away, Surfers Paradise or Byron Bay, located just to the south of Brisbane.
