Questions
Is SkoolPath free?
Searching and comparing schools will always be free. The Admissions Pass, with personal timelines, reminders and checklists, will cost R249 once-off per year. Founding members can reserve it for R149.
Can I apply to schools through SkoolPath?
Not directly. Public schools in Gauteng use the GDE online admissions system, and independent schools have their own forms. SkoolPath helps you decide where to apply, what to prepare and when, so you apply on time everywhere.
What do you do with my details?
We only use them to tell you about the launch (and admissions tips, if you opt in). We never sell them, and we never ask for your child's name or ID number. See our privacy notice.
Which areas do you cover?
We're starting with all of Gauteng: Johannesburg, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, Sedibeng and the West Rand. Other provinces will follow.
