FAQs – Life at Lexis Sydney

Lexis Sydney is located in Manly, one of the best-known beach suburbs in Australia. You get all the benefits of being close to the city without being stuck in it. The campus is absolutely right on the beach (the only beach front school in Australia!) with views out over the ocean and a steady stream of salty air and sunshine. You can watch surfers between classes and be in the water a minute after school ends.  In season, you can see whales jumping, even when you’re sitting in your classroom!

The school itself has modern classrooms, shared lounge spaces, and a terrace that’s popular for lunch breaks and afternoon hangouts. The atmosphere is lively but friendly. Because it’s in Manly, the school attracts students who want the best of both worlds. You’ve got ferries into the city if you want to explore Sydney, but everything you need is right here—cafes, gyms, shops, bars, and of course the beach.

It’s a great location for students who want to learn seriously while enjoying the lifestyle that Australia is famous for.
