There are 25,490 open schools in South Africa, and now every one of them has a page.

The Department of Basic Education keeps a register of them all. It's useful, but no parent is going to open a government spreadsheet, so I turned it into a website. Search by name, town or EMIS number, or find the schools near you.

For most schools the register has no phone number, email or website. The school office can add them through a short form, and I check every change before it goes live.

The data is the DBE's Master List of Schools 2023, distributed by DataFirst at UCT under CC-BY. EverySchool isn't a government site; I run it independently.
