School Website Templates for Schools, Tutors and Courses

By Manob Editorial · October 15, 2026

A school website template gives a school, tutor or course provider a home page, programme pages, an enrolment page and a contact form. Manob lists six templates for education and school sites. A template gives you a public website, not a system for grades, attendance or fees.

A school website template is a ready design for an educational business. Parents, students and learners look for programmes, fees, timetables and a way to enquire or enrol. This guide compares six templates on Manob that fit school, education, tutoring or course work, says which kind of provider each one suits, and names the jobs a template cannot do. For WordPress education themes, see our separate guide.

Can a school template handle online enrolment?

Not by itself. A template gives you an enrolment form and a page that explains the process. Taking payments, storing student records and sending timetables need a student information or learning system, which is a separate purchase. Decide which of those you need before you pick the design, so the enrolment page can link to the right tool.

Which template fits a school or university?

The Edu-Vice template is named for universities, colleges and schools, so it is the closest fit for a larger institution with several levels of study. The Unimax education template and the DreamHub school collage template suit a smaller school that wants a simpler site with more photos. Open each preview and check that the pages match your structure, such as year groups, departments or faculties.

School and university templates

Edu-Vice Education University College and School HTML5 Template: best for a college or university

This HTML5 template is named for education at several levels, which suits an institution that needs departments, course listings and staff pages. It is a static site, so there is no dashboard. Updating course details or term dates means editing files, which a small admissions team can handle if it changes details a few times a year.

Unimax Education HTML Template: best for a school with a simple site

The Unimax template is named for education in general. It suits a school that needs a home page, a few programme pages, a news section and an enrolment page without much else. Keep the structure lean. A simple site is easier to keep current than a large one that nobody updates.

DreamHub Education and School Collage HTML5 Template: best for a school with photo-heavy pages

The collage name suggests a layout built around many photographs. That suits a school that wants to show classrooms, sports days and events. Choose your photos with care, and check they are cropped well on a phone. Obtain consent before you publish pictures of pupils, and follow your school's policy on images.

Online courses and tutoring

Education Online Course HTML5 Template: best for an online course provider

This template is named for online courses, so it suits a provider that sells or promotes courses to adults or students who study remotely. Course pages with outlines and sign-up buttons are the core of the site. Check how the template shows price, length and start dates, and keep those details in one place so they are easy to change.

Eduzone Education Landing Page Bootstrap Website Template: best for a single course sign-up page

The landing page wording points to a focused page that promotes one programme and collects enquiries. It suits a tutor or small provider with one main course. It is a Bootstrap template, so a developer can extend it, but it will feel thin if you need many programme pages. For that, choose the online course template above.

Swimming and specialist schools

Swimzo Swimming School and Course Booking HTML5 Template: best for a swim school that sells course places

The name points to a swimming school with course booking, so this template suits a school that sells places on courses or lessons. A booking button and a course list are central here. Live places and payments still need a booking tool, so connect one before you launch. Test a booking yourself to confirm the confirmation reaches the right person.

HTML or WordPress for a school website?

Choose HTML when the site changes rarely and you want few moving parts. Choose WordPress when staff add news, term dates or new courses often and want a dashboard. The visitor sees a similar page either way. The choice decides who maintains the site and how easily it changes. For a fuller look at education themes, see our WordPress education guide, and for static templates, read the HTML5 templates guide.

What to check before you buy

• An admissions or enrolment page. Parents look for it first. Check the template has a clear page for steps, deadlines and forms.
• Programme or class pages. Count how many programme pages the template offers against what you run, and check each one holds fees, length and entry requirements.
• Staff and qualifications. Parents and students want to know who teaches. Check the team page has room for qualifications and short bios.
• Calendar or term dates. A simple dates page or events list saves many calls to the office.
• Policy pages. Safeguarding, admissions and privacy pages need their own space. The template will not write them.

When a template is not enough

A template is a public website. It does not manage student records, attendance, grades, timetables or fee payments. Schools that need student logins or parent portals need a school management or learning system, and that system should sit alongside the site. A template also works poorly if your brand needs an unusual structure, because you will spend more time changing the design than writing content. A custom build costs more but fits better. Our guide to customizing a WordPress theme shows how far a template can be changed.

If none of these suits your school, browse every site template on Manob. Each one can be previewed before purchase, so open the demo and check the enrolment page on a phone.

Regular vs Extended License

The Regular License covers a single end product where end users aren't charged, which is what a school's own website is. The Extended License applies when end users are charged, for example through a payment form that takes fees from students or parents. Neither license lets you redistribute the source files as they are. If you build sites for other schools or tutors, each site is its own end product, so check the terms for each one. Purchases include 6 months of free seller support through Manob's ticket system. The Regular vs Extended License guide explains the difference in more detail.

Frequently asked questions

What is a school website template?

A school website template is a pre-built site design for a school, tutor or course provider. It usually includes a home page, programme or class pages, an enrolment page, a team page and a contact form. You replace the placeholder text and photos with your own, and the layout stays. It saves design time, but the site still needs accurate fees, dates and policies.

Can a school website template handle enrolment and payments?

It can show an enrolment form and explain the steps, but payments and student records need a separate system. Connect a payment or school management tool, then place its link or embed on the enrolment page. Test the whole process yourself before launch, including the confirmation emails.

Is an HTML school template or a WordPress one better?

Neither is better in general. HTML suits a school that changes its details rarely and can edit files when needed. WordPress suits a school that adds news, term dates or courses often and wants a dashboard. Pick the option your staff can keep up to date, because outdated term dates or fees confuse parents quickly.

Can a tutor use a course template for one subject?

Yes, but check the depth of the pages first. A single-subject tutor usually needs a home page, a short course page, testimonials and an enquiry form. The landing-page template is closer to that need than a full school design. Remove sections you do not use, and keep the enquiry form visible.

Do school templates include safeguarding or privacy pages?

A template may include a page layout for these policies, but it does not write them. Safeguarding, admissions and privacy policies depend on your country, your school's rules and the data you collect. Ask a qualified adviser to review them before you publish the site.

Can I build school sites for clients with one template?

Not on one license. Each client site is its own end product, so each one needs a license that fits how it is used. You may not redistribute the source files as they are, which also means you cannot resell the template itself. Keep a record of which license covers each site, and read the Extended License terms for any site that takes fees.
