School

Browns English Language School has established a new course centre in Brisbane and provides quality teaching in modern, high-standard facilities in the heart itself of the city, only a short distance away from all the conveniences. It is a place from which a palpable dynamism and energy emanate, materialised by the bright red coloured ergonomic furniture! Through the large bay windows of the building, you will get a magnificent look at the spectacular Museum of Brisbane. Everything is clarity and light! You will quickly be taken in by the collective passion for learning English in this international atmosphere. Supported by teachers who will follow up closely on your linguistic progress, you will appreciate the familial atmosphere which reigns at Browns. The school occupies the whole ground floor of a marble building which is served well by public transport. In each of the 14 classrooms, there is a flat-screen TV/DVD and Internet access is free throughout the school. No less than around fifty computers are available to students. For your daily comfort, an ultramodern kitchen equipped with microwaves and refrigerators is available for use. You will find ads for jobs available in the city on a notice board and Browns will help you in your search for a job on-site.
