Full example of schema.org/School json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "School",
  "name": "Example School"
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid School entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

schema.org/School (minimal)

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "School",
  "name": "Example"
}
</script>

Google rich results this unlocks

School is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). School becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common School mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

01
Using bare EducationalOrganization instead of the specific School subtype
Wrong
```
"@type": "EducationalOrganization"
```
Right
```
"@type": "School"
```
Specific subtypes carry domain context consumers use; reach for the narrowest applicable type.
