Show HN: SchoolFinder – A School Directory for the Gulf
SchoolFinder is a school directory covering the Gulf region, helping users locate and compare educational institutions in the area.
Background
- SchoolFinder.io is a web directory listing schools in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
- The Gulf has seen massive expat influx, creating demand for private/international schools. Parents often struggle to find reliable, centralized info on curricula (IB, British, American, Indian), fees, and facilities.
- The site was launched as a "Show HN" on Hacker News, suggesting it's an independent project (possibly a solo or small-team build) shared for feedback in the tech community.
- It likely competes with or complements platforms like SchoolsCompared, WhichSchoolAdvisor, or International Schools Database, but focuses solely on the Gulf region.
