NSW School of Languages is a distance education language specialist school. NSW School of Languages is part of a network of Department of Education schools which provides education to students by distance education.

Subject to satisfying certain guidelines, students in NSW secondary and central schools may enrol to study a language course not available to them at their home school. Enrolment is available to both government and non-government school students.

Student learning is supported through a diverse program of written materials, telephone lessons, video conferencing, online activities and forums and email. Teachers may also visit the student’s home school and there are study days at NSW School of Languages where students enjoy the opportunity to meet with other students and staff. A teacher at the home school is appointed to support each student individually.

The guidelines for enrolment may be viewed on the school website. Students may not enrol directly with NSW School of Languages. All applications for enrolments must be made by the home school on behalf of the student.
