NEAS is a government organisation that protects the quality of schools that offer English language tuition to overseas students. It stands for quality. We are also a member of the Australian Council For Private Education and Training - ACPET.

The school is located in the central part of Byron Bay, 2 minutes walk from the bus stop. We are on the ground floor of a two storey building (picture) in Jonson Lane. Access is also available from Carlyle St. The Bunkhouse backpackers hostel is located on the second level of our building. Outside the classrooms there is a sheltered outdoor garden area for students to relax, eat lunch and enjoy conversations with other students.

Nationalities
Students from all countries are welcome to study in Byron Bay. Most students come from Europe (Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain), Asia (Japan, Korea) or South America (Brazil and Argentina). Our aim is to attract as many nationalities as possible to ensure an international learning environment.

We offer intensive General English courses for international students and travellers.We also offer a selection of activities to complement our part time English courses -surfing, diving, activities and music.

Our Full time English course is listed on CRICOS, the Commonwealth Government Register of International Courses for Overseas Students.

All students take an initial assessment test, are graded and issued with a weekly timetable. Our timetable offers classes each morning from 9am until 12.30pm.

Levels
Our school offers up to 4 levels of English proficiency: elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate and upper intermediate. All students have the opportunity to move to a higher class as each level is mastered. More study levels are added as student numbers increase.

Facilities
Our school has comfortable air-conditioned classrooms. There is a large covered outdoor common space which we also use for conversation groups. TV/video facilities are also available for use in classroom and situations. Our school also offers computer/internet facilities for its students. These facilities are used in some classroom and self access activities as well as for students' personal need to communicate with family and friends at home by email
