Perth

Learn English in Perth, Australia at our English language school partner. Perth is one of the most interesting and beautiful travel destinations in the world today. Study in Perth and meet people from all over the world
Perth, capital city of the state of Western Australia and 4th biggest city in Australia, is located on the south western coast of the country. With a population of over 1,6 million people, it is the most isolated metropolitan city in the world, closer to Asia than to Sydney, which makes it a very special place.

Located on the bank of the Swan River, Perth enjoys a wonderful climate, quite similar to the Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and cool winters, and has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

This sophisticated, cosmopolitan city was ranked 4th on The Economist's 2008 list of the “World's Most Liveable Cities” thanks to its beautiful parks and gardens, its great night life with numerous bars and restaurants, and its cultural activities.

In Perth you can also practice many water sports, go sailing, fishing or surfing on the Indian Ocean. The “City of Light” is waiting for you!
