Study English in Byron Bay

There’s nowhere like Byron Bay

Live in Byron Bay

Byron has always attracted people who want to do things a little differently. Surfers, musicians, artists, travellers and people from around the world have created a town with a character entirely its own.

Study English, live minutes from the beach and become part of a small, social community where surf, music, markets, cafés and the outdoors shape everyday life. There really is nowhere quite like Byron.

Why Byron Bay?

Find your people

Byron is an easy place to connect. Its mix of surf culture, creativity, live music, markets and people from around the world creates a social community with a character entirely its own.

English everywhere

In a smaller Australian community, English quickly becomes the language of everyday life, used with housemates, colleagues, customers, locals and new friends.

Live the Byron lifestyle

Surf before class, cycle to the beach, walk to the lighthouse, catch live music or explore the hinterland. Byron has never been quite like anywhere else.

Byron is compact, social and remarkably easy to settle into. Town, cafés, shops and beaches are all close by, and a bike will take you through most of your daily routine.

Study together, head to the beach after class, cook with friends at the residence or wander into town for the evening. In Byron, school, friendships and everyday life have a habit of blending together.

It’s been a wonderful experience sharing these last three months with the entire Lexis team. I’m leaving very happy and I’ll be back in February 🤩

The teachers, the environment, and the services were all truly pleasant. The students gathered there also seemed to be enjoying their studies in their own ways. The after-school activities were well-organized and fulfilling, and I think it’s a really great school.
