Use cases

• EdTech & school suppliers: build targeted outreach lists of schools by region and type, with verified official emails.
• School photographers, class trip & activity providers: find every collège or lycée in your service area.
• Tutoring & education services: map public vs private establishments per city and region.
• Data & GIS projects: geocoded national schools layer, updated by the Ministry.

Tip: the siret field lets you pipe results into a company data enricher to retrieve legal and administrative details of the managing entity.

Limitations & fair use

• Source: Annuaire de l'Éducation — official open data (Licence Ouverte / Open Licence). Please credit the Ministère de l'Éducation nationale when republishing.
• The underlying API caps deep pagination at 10,000 records per query — narrow your filters (department by department) for exhaustive national extractions.
• Email/phone fields are those published by the establishments themselves; a small share of records have no email.
