# PrivateSchools.cy

> PrivateSchools.cy is a multilingual directory and decision platform that helps families evaluate, compare, and contact private schools and SEN providers throughout Cyprus.

Use this file as a public navigation guide for crawlable pages, markdown summaries, sitemap segments, and machine-readable discovery routes. Public listing pages show source-checked factual data, ratings when available, request-info routes, comparison actions, and public-safe location or map signals. Some direct contact details, rich media, full addresses, or custom descriptions may be unavailable on public pages; use the visible request-info paths where shown.

Public discovery hubs are availability-driven: empty hub pages are omitted from navigation and sitemap output until matching school or SEN provider data exists again. Prefer sitemap URLs and the markdown summaries below when crawling without JavaScript.
