School Search & Advisory service in Cape Town, South Africa.

How do you get an independent critical guide to the best schools & nurseries in and around Cape Town's most desirable locations?

Our recommended school's service advisory service is a consultancy run by Sands Home Search (SA) to advise parents, on a one-to-one basis, on choosing the best schools for their children.

Sands are in a unique position to do this because its advisors have in-depth knowledge of all the leading schools in the Cape Town area and most of their consultants are parents like you with their own children actually in these schools!!

Not even the best school is perfect. Good schools differ enormously in what they offer and in the kind of child they suit best. Our service can help you with:

* finding schools which are likely to suit your child;

* Inside information on what a particular school is really like;

* Suggesting good schools that you may not know about;

* Checking out specific schools for you;

* Information on strong specialist departments and unusual features;

* Suggestions on how to improve your chances of getting your child accepted by a school;

* Arranging (& accompanying you, if required) visits with the schools for you;

* Providing copies of each shortlisted school's prospectus.


Tell us what you need, and we will tell you if we are able to help. All information is treated in the strictest confidence.

Our standard fee is R 7,000 for the first child and R 4,500 for each subsequent child.
