Manly is a beautiful beach-side suburb of northern Sydney. It is a 20 minute ferry ride to the city centre.
Manly has plenty of beaches with kilometres of golden sands, including one of Sydney’s best surf beaches. Our school is just a three-minute-walk from the main beach. You can go for a swim and surf before or after school or even at lunchtime. Jump on a bike. There are more than 20 kilometres of bicycle tracks around Manly. Not too bad, eh?
The Language House likes Little Manly Beach (a 10 minute walk from Manly centre) for a quiet swim and a picnic on the sand.
The city centre is a bustling metropolis of shops, cafes and restaurants. Manly offers Sydney beach–side living at its best—comfortable and relaxed.

The Language House likes
Manly’s beaches are fabulous. Manly is one of the great places to swim, surf or just hang out, watch the sea gulls and the surfers and eat some fish and chips in the sun…. All of this just a three-minute walk from the school. Lexis Manly is a friendly school where everyone knows you by your first name.
