Minutes to the city...

Perth’s Scarborough Beach offers a vibrant
lifestyle and is where all of Perth comes to play.
Long summer evenings come alive at beachside cafes, pubs and
clubs and the weekends are all about surfing and swimming in the
Indian Ocean’s clean, sparkling waters. The city is close by, or if you
are looking for an adventure, there are many exciting West Australian
destinations to explore.
I really want to say how much I have loved being at Lexis Perth and I have enjoyed
learning English so much over the last 7 months that it has now become a real focus
of my life. Living in Perth has been absolutely fantastic. I think whoever decided to have
the school near the beach should be given a prize as the location is everything you
would want.”

Lexis Perth is close to all the amenities you could possibly need,
with the convenience of public transport links at the front of the
campus. The school is just minutes to the city and just steps to the

student nights and plenty of activities make Lexis Perth a seriously
nice place to study!
