Adelaide South Australia


Adelaide
Adelaide is a modern multi-cultural town with a great lifestyle. It is an important centre for education, art, culture and science. The town centre with its parks is characteristic for an Australian metropolis – despite its large size, all the facilities are within easy reach.
The climate in Adelaide can be compared to a Mediterranean climate and especially during the Summer the long beaches on the south coast are a popular holiday destination. We recommend a visit to Kangaroo Island where you can see kangaroos, koala bears and other animals in their natural habitat.
The school
Our school in Adelaide is the oldest local language school. It is situated in the cultural centre of Adelaide opposite the university near various shops, cafes and cinemas. All 13 classrooms are air-conditioned. The school also has a computer room, a small kitchen and a rest room. All tutors are highly qualified and emphasize an international atmosphere. The school also organises excursions to Cleland Wildlife Park, the National Wine Centre or the Gaol Marialta Falls.

Sightseeing in Adelaide
Adelaide has a lot of cultural and sports activities to offer. We recommend a visit to Adelaide Festival Center for concerts, exhibitions and theatre performances. The town centre of Adelaide is home to a variety of museums.The surroundings of Adelaide offer large parks which are ideal for relaxing. We also recommend a visit to Cleland Wildlife Park where you will see untouched nature and fascinating wildlife such as koala bears, kangaroos and emus. You can even book a guided tour through the night, an indescribable experience. For chocolate lovers we recommend a visit to Haigh’s Chocolate Factory and a guided tour after which you won’t be able to get past the gift shop! The Old Adelaide Prison was opened in 1841 and can now be visited on Saturdays from 11:00 to 15:30.
