High Schools  

Australian schools offer quality education at world class standards. Each State or Territory in Australia is responsible for its own schools, however the Australian Federal Government ensures the standards and quality of teaching are maintained throughout the country. The majority of Australian schools are public and approximately one quarter are private and charge full fees.  

There are thousands of schools in Australia, far too many to list here. You need to consider your individual needs (large school or small school, which city or town would you like to live in, etc). 

English Language  

You can study intensive English language (known as ELICOS) at more than 100 institutions in Australia. Some institutions are private, semi-private or government owned. All institutions are properly registered and offer high quality English language training, many using advanced language laboratories, video, computer and library facilities.  

There are no entrance requirements for English Language courses. Courses are offered at all levels (Beginner to Advanced) and course starting times are very flexible. This flexibility makes it easy for you to combine English Language Training with a holiday, or with another course.

You can study:

General English (emphasis on communication skills) 

English for Academic Purposes (preparation to study at university, TAFE or a private college) 

Examination Preparation (preparation for Cambridge, TOEFL or IELTS examinations)
