In South Africa, there is no distinction between independent and private schools and the two terms are often used interchangeably.
SchoolFinder is a directory listing of private schools that are members of ISASA, the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa. Private schools are also known as independent schools.
SchoolFinder helps parents find ISASA member schools in their area, as well as compare schools using criteria such as tuition fees, curriculum, number of pupils and religious affiliation.
Please note that some ISASA member schools are still in the process of uploading information to Schoolfinder, and may not yet appear on the website. Please contact info@isasa.org to confirm if a school is a member of ISASA.
