In response to the current travel restrictions due to COVID-19, BROWNS has transitioned English courses to BROWNS Virtual, which provides live, interactive classes in real-time with teachers in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. BROWNS' virtual learning environment delivers the same high-quality curriculum, student support and learning outcomes that BROWNS is famous for. International students already in Australia or overseas can join BROWNS' interactive virtual English classes, start a pathway program for entrance into a partner school, university or college, engage with teachers in Australia, make new friends and stay connected.
