Study English in Sydney
Harbour city. Surf beaches. One of the world’s great places to live and learn.
Live in Sydney
Lexis Manly Beach is just minutes from the city, and steps from the sand.
Study metres from one of Australia’s most famous beaches, where swimming, surfing, cafés and coastal life can become part of your everyday routine. Then jump on the ferry across Sydney Harbour and step into the heart of one of the world’s great cities.
Manly gives you the best of both sides of Sydney: a relaxed beach community to call home, with the energy, opportunity and excitement of the city always within easy reach.
Why Sydney?
Beach life, every day
Manly isn’t somewhere you travel to at the weekend. It’s home. Swim before class, meet friends along the beachfront, explore the coast or learn to surf just moments from school.
The city across the harbour
Jump on the ferry and Sydney is yours: universities, jobs, shopping, nightlife, culture and some of Australia’s most famous landmarks are all within easy reach.
Get the best of both
Build your everyday life in a relaxed beach community without giving up the opportunities and excitement of one of the world’s great cities.
Why Lexis Manly Beach?
Steps from the sand
Our campus sits just metres from Manly Beach, putting swimming, surfing, cafés and coastal life right outside the school.
A ferry ride from the city
Circular Quay and central Sydney are just across the harbour, giving you access to the city while letting you come home to Manly.
Study with a view to your future
From General English and Cambridge to IELTS and further-study pathways, build your English around where you want it to take you next. Choose between a daytime or evening schedule.
Make yourself at home
Manly has the feel of a beach town with everything you need for everyday life. Cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, gyms, bars and the beach are all close to campus, while buses and ferries connect you with the rest of Sydney.
Meet friends at the beach after class, grab dinner around the Corso, catch a sunset from the harbour side or jump on the ferry for a night in the city. You can live locally without ever feeling cut off from Sydney.

It was an AMAZING time in Lexis. I met a lot of new people and made some friends for life.☺️
The best teachers and excellent service. They make the classes very fun. You learn very quickly because they give you lots of support and flexibility. Exceptional — I recommend it 100%.
I had such an amazing experience at Lexis English 😊 The teachers are professional, supportive, and always make the lessons interesting and fun. I improved my English a lot in a short time, but the best part was meeting so many people from all over the world and creating unforgettable memories together. The atmosphere at the school is super friendly and welcoming, and everyone makes you feel comfortable from day one. Sydney is also the perfect place to study English and enjoy the Australian lifestyle at the same time. I would definitely recommend Lexis to anyone who wants to improve their English and have an incredible experience abroad ✨
