{{Infobox school}} can be used for adding at-a-glance comparative information to articles about schools, other than universities or colleges. (See: {{Infobox university}} and related infobox templates for higher-education facilities.) Examples of use for this template would include primary and secondary schools.

To add an empty infobox with all options and editor-only comments with useage tips, you can subst Template:ISCL. To do this, type {{subst:ISCL}}, save the edit, and then fill-in the data after the equals signs for those lines you are ready to use on a subsequent edit. Lines that are left blank will be ignored.

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • agent
  • category
  • county-name
  • extended-address
  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • region
  • street-address
  • url
  • vcard

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • geo
  • latitude
  • longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
