Frequently asked questions

Quick answers for parents and schools. Fees, verification, comparison and coverage in the GCC.

What is SchoolFinder?
SchoolFinder is an independent school and nursery directory built for parents. Browse structured profiles with curriculum, fee bands, grades, admissions notes and contact details — then compare schools side by side and reach admissions teams directly.
Is SchoolFinder free for parents?
Yes. Searching, browsing, comparing schools, saving shortlists and submitting enquiry forms is completely free for parents. We do not charge families to use the directory.
Which countries does SchoolFinder cover?
We launched in the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Bahrain and are expanding across the GCC. Country and city pages show live coverage. New schools and areas are added regularly.
Does SchoolFinder have a map view?
Yes. Switch between list and map view on the schools and nurseries directories. Maps cover UAE, Oman and Bahrain. Active filters stay applied when you switch — fee band, curriculum and area on schools; age, fees and care options on nurseries — so pins match your search.
How does school comparison work?
Add up to four schools to your compare list as you browse. Open the compare tool to see curriculum, fees, admissions and contact details side by side. We also publish permanent comparison pages for popular school pairs at /compare.
What does the verified badge mean?
A verified badge means the school has claimed its profile and confirmed ownership with an official school-domain email. It indicates the school maintains its listing — not that SchoolFinder endorses or ranks the school as “best”.
Are fees on SchoolFinder accurate?
We publish fee bands from public sources and school-submitted data. Fees, discounts and availability change frequently. Always confirm final fees, seat availability and admissions requirements directly with each school before applying.
Is there a school fee calculator for multiple children?
Yes. SchoolFinder's free school fee calculator at /school-fee-calculator lets you add up to six children, assign a different school to each, and see annual, per-term and monthly tuition from verified per-grade or stage-band data. Share or print a household summary before you contact admissions.
How does a school claim its profile?
Search for your school in the directory and start the claim flow at /claim. Verify ownership with your official school-domain email. Once approved, you can sign in to the school portal to update details and respond to parent enquiries.
