Add Map and Help

The functionality of the application "I live here" has been expanded - the flagship project of the Ecosystem of Urban Services "Digital Petersburg." This was announced on July 22, 2024 by the press service of the vice-governor of St. Petersburg S.V. Kazarin.

Over the past five years, a large number of new schools have been commissioned in St. Petersburg: more than 100 facilities equipped to high standards have been built - with scientific and technical laboratories, swimming pools, media studios. The digital service "Schools" will help Petersburgers easily navigate in educational institutions and choose a school for the child according to the criteria of interest: proximity to home, appearance, profile, specialization. The service will show free places for first graders and tell when and how to apply for admission, - said the vice-governor of St. Petersburg Stanislav Kazarin.

Two sections are available to users: Map and Help.

"Map" will show schools near the indicated place of residence. Educational institutions are highlighted in color depending on their type (secondary school - orange, gymnasium - green, etc.). For each school available on the map, the number of free places is shown. General statistics on free places in a particular area and throughout the city are also presented.

When clicking on the school of interest, you can get acquainted with the main information: specialization, number of places, link to the site, contact details of the educational institution and the director's name. Also in the information block are the contact details of the conflict commission of the district where the educational organization of interest is located.

If the selected school is suitable for the user, then he can use the "Sign up for Public services" function to apply for admission to the first grade.

For the convenience of working with the card, a filter is available that will help clarify the request for the selection of the school. There is an opportunity to consider educational institutions only with free places, as well as the following criteria: the type of educational institution (gymnasium lyceum, secondary school, etc.), profile (humanitarian, technological, universal) and specialization (for example, English, geography, computer science).

The Help section provides the Memo and Utility tabs. "Memo" ― this is conveniently submitted information about the basic rules of admission to the first class, enrollment criteria, information about the necessary documents and the enrollment procedure itself.

The "Useful" tab contains links that will help parents of schoolchildren and future first graders: "Electronic Diary," "Portal of the Olympiad Movement," "My School" and the Center for Career Guidance "Vector."
