Establishment of 1990, OISE distinguishes itself by being the only language training organisation to specialise exclusively in the provision of intensive courses. All participants are immersed in anenvironment conducive to serious, concentrated study. OISE students share the same aims andthe same commitment to learning. Furthermore, since OISE only teaches a language in thecountry where it is spoken, the participant is obliged to speak, listen to, read and write thelanguage all day long. This powerful combination of structured learning within the school andspontaneous language acquisition outside ensures that the participant achieves his or her language learning ambition.

Home to a spectacular harbour, a dynamic culture and a wealth of internationally recognised landmarks, Sydney is resplendent with colour, from the stunning azure of its waterside and skyline to its sandy white beaches. The city has something for everyone from ornate shopping malls with intricate lace balconies to world-class harbourside restaurants serving mouthwatering seafood dishes; from serene art galleries and museums to extreme sports and exotic wildlife. The city is extremely modern with state-of-the-art public transport links (including an impressive 8 stop city loop monorail) and first class sporting facilities. An exciting, thriving, vibrant cosmopolis, Sydney owes its relaxed atmosphere to the warmth and friendliness of its people.  It comes as no surprise that the city has established itself as the premier destination for English language learning in the Southern Hemisphere.

OISE Sydney is in the heart of the city. The central location is within easy walking distance of all the city's major attractions; it is virtually on Darling harbour with its exclusive boutiques and gourmet al fresco restaurants. Situated on the 11th floor of a smart, modern building, it is an ideal place in which to take an intensive English course.

The school is located across the road from the Queen Victoria Building, a beautiful colonial building which has been converted into an elegant arcade of boutiques and coffee shops.
