What we like about the school
  • Spacious student lounge with pool table, foosball table and video games.
  • The school is just a 3-minute walk from boutiques and restaurants.
  • Only a 10-minute walk from the central station.
  • Electronic whiteboards in all classrooms.
What we dislike about the school
  • Older students should consider that the average age of students at the school is significantly younger than at most other schools.
  • A 40 minute lesson duration is a bit shorter than normal.

Location: EF International Language Center Sydney is located in the coastal metropolis of Sydney, southern Australia. A city famous for its beaches and great weather, in addition to its rich cultural and artistic value, Sydney offers students a unique backdrop for their studies. EF Sydney is housed in the trendy Chippendale district, in modern facilities surrounded by coffee houses, art galleries and within walking distance of attractions such as the Victoria and Prince Alfred Parks. Attractions such as Darling Harbour, the Sydney Opera House and the Museum of Contemporary Art are within a 30-minute train ride of the school. Bondi Beach is also within easy reach, around a 50-minute journey from Cleveland Train Station which is within 200m of the school. Sydney Airport offers domestic and international flights and is within 25 minutes of the school via public transport.

School facilities: The school offers facilities complete to give students of all ages a unique and pleasant experience in Sydney. The facilities include a cafeteria, lounge area, outdoor garden, a computer lab, games room and a student support desk for any questions or queries that may arise. Each classroom is equipped with air conditioning, heating and ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

Social and Cultural: EF Sydney organises regular excursions to the Blue Mountains, Canberra and Taronga Zoo.

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves. Across the globe, they have more than 600 schools and offices in over 50 countries, delivering the best in education and student care throughout all locations. As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

EF understands that language programmes can be much more than the sole process of learning a language, as cultural immersion and diversity play a key part in any student's educational and life development.

Throughout the EF schools, programmes are readily available to adults and juniors, for career, personal and educational development.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.

The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
