How do I find schools near me in Ghana?

Choose the kind of school, press use my location and allow it when your phone or browser asks. The page lists the closest schools with their distance. If you would rather not share a location, pick your region and then your town or city.

Is my location stored?

No. Your position is sent once, in the request that asks for the list, and the answer comes straight back. We do not save it, log it, or send it to our analytics.

Why does the list not show a school I know is near me?

We measure only to schools whose position we trust. 17,957 of the 43,626 schools on the register have one. A school whose position is approximate, or missing, is not in this list, but it is in its town and district list.

How is the distance worked out?

In a straight line, from your position or from the centre of the town you pick, to the school's recorded position. It is not a road distance, and a road can be much longer.

Can I find senior high schools, primary schools or universities near me?

Yes. Choose the kind of school before you search. You can ask for senior high schools (SHS), primary and junior high schools, nurseries and kindergartens, universities, nursing schools, technical and vocational schools, or private schools.
