Language school in Noosa Heads, Australia
Lexis Noosa is the Noosa campus of Lexis English, a group of English language schools in Australia and Asia that has been teaching since 2004 and has six campuses in Australia. The school is at 6 Lanyana Way, Noosa Heads, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast and is operated by Sunshine Coast English College Pty Ltd (CRICOS provider 01632D). It is the group's original beach campus and has been part of the Noosa community for more than 20 years; the average class size is 12. The courses below are those listed for students over 18.
- General English, full-time or part-time
- Cambridge exam preparation: FCE, CAE and CPE
- Working Holiday Package
- English and Demi-Pair (living with a local family)

Courses start every Monday. Before enrolling, students take a short online English test that sets their level and the number of weeks they need; on the first day there is a placement test on campus. Students on a student visa can study for 16 to 60 weeks, and working holiday makers for 1 to 17 weeks. After enrolment and the deposit, Lexis issues the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) needed for an Australian student visa. Two-week Barista or Bar and Cocktail courses can be added to help students find work, and Lexis arranges homestay, student residences and shared houses.
