Can I search a different area?
Yes. Open any town page, for example schools in Johannesburg, and choose “Find schools near” that town, or search by school name or suburb.
Will the nearest public school accept my child?
Public schools give priority to learners who live or whose parents work in their feeder zone, which is usually close to the school. Read our guide on applying for Grade 1 and Grade 8.
