English Courses in Sydney

Our English courses in Sydney are held in the heart of downtown, so close to the world-famous harbor that the Sydney Harbor bridge is the first thing you’ll see when stepping out of class. EF Sydney is situated just off the Circular Quay, literally steps from the Sydney Opera House and the dozens of cafes, bars and restaurants of the Rocks District. 

In addition to our personalized language courses, EF Sydney offers several exam preparation classes so students can ready themselves for higher education in Australia. Our English courses are supplemented by the EF Internship Program which offers students international work experience in fields such as tourism, finance and marketing. EF Sydney is housed in a heritage-listed building complete with exposed-brick walls and fully-renovated classrooms. And our activities office is onsite to plan weekend excursions and early morning surf lessons.

Australia’s Favorite City

Sydney is the place where the British first settled in Australia, and over 200 years later it still remains the center of Australian life and culture. Asian, British and South Pacific influences are important to Sydney’s cultural make-up, and they all blend together to form the city’s distinct character. Tucked into one of the world’s most famous harbors, Sydney is surrounded by clear blue waters and golden sand beaches. 

Students in our English courses in Sydney benefit from a city where natural beauty and world-class culture are always on your doorstep. Eat lunch on the steps of the Sydney Opera House and watch sailboats pass into one of the world’s busiest harbors. Take surfing tips from locals at nearby Manly and Bondi beaches. Eat fresh seafood at a harbor-side café or nibble on noodles in the city’s Chinatown. Make time for a traditional Aboriginal dance and music performance at one of the city’s concert halls. On long weekends, choose between snorkeling trips along the Great Barrier Reef or star-gazing camping outings in the Outback.
