Language school Brisbane, Global Village

School

Our partner school, established since 2003 at the very centre of Brisbane, is housed in a modern building and has 12 air-conditioned classrooms. Only a stone's throw away from the lively Queen Street Mall, which brings together numerous cafés and shops, Global Village will welcome you into a friendly atmosphere and will offer you a pleasant environment for studying English. You will have the use of a computer room with 14 computers, free Internet and e-mail access as well as a WiFi connection throughout the building. You will also be able to use the student lounge as you wish, which has a wide-screen TV, a Wii games console, a vending machine for snacks and drinks, a microwave and a space where you can eat meals, If you wish to go out to enjoy the sunshine, you only have to go out onto the school's terrace or go to Southbank, the famous park on the banks of the Brisbane River, only a few metres away from the school.

Accommodation

Host family
Our partner school proposes by far the best type of accommodation in order to immerse yourself fully in the English language and Australian culture which is a host family. Carefully selected by our partner school, the host families generally live between 35-60 minutes away from the school by train or bus and offer accommodation in a single room with either half board (full board at weekends) or full board every day of the week. In this way, you will be able to practise your English with natives once your day of classes is over or participate in their family activities.

Leisure

In Brisbane, you will never run out of ideas of things to do to amuse yourself. Amongst the favourite activities of students, we can cite the examples of excursions to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or Byron Bay, You will also have the chance to organise barbecue evenings with your friends in Southbankk Park or to explore the magical universes of Seaworld and Movieworld. Without forgetting that the ocean and the marvellous Great Barrier Reef invite you to practise numerous water sports and to enjoy the Australian sun. In addition to all of this, every Wednesday, our partner school organises "clubs" during which excursions or themes like cinema or cooking will allow you to improve your English whilst enjoying yourself!
