These terms apply to schools and programs listed on Private School Shortlist, which is run by Valyou LLC. Our terms of use also apply.
Your free listing
We draft free listings from public records and each school's own website. A free listing stays free, and we correct it on request.
Claiming your listing
Claiming is free. To claim your listing now, write to hello@privateschoolshortlist.com from an email address at your organization's own website domain and name the listing; from another address, we do a short manual check first. We then correct your details for you. Changes to name, address or program status are checked by a person before they show.
Self-serve sign-in from the "Claim it for free" link on your listing is not open yet.
What you add
Your short description is shown as you write it, and we do not check it before it shows. Keep it to facts about your school: no rankings, guarantees, or health or legal claims.
We keep facts from official sources as the official source shows them. If you think an official record is wrong, please ask the agency that keeps it to correct it.
What you give us permission to show
When you add text, photos or other details to your listing, you give Valyou LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide permission to show, format and resize that content on this site and in our emails about your listing, for as long as it is on your listing. We keep a record of what you add and change, as our privacy notice explains. You keep ownership of it.
When you add it, you confirm that you own it or have the right to share it, and that it is true and accurate.
You can withdraw it at any time by writing to hello@privateschoolshortlist.com, and we read every request and act on it. Emails we have already sent cannot be recalled.
We may decline or remove any content that breaks the rules on this page.
Paid plans (not open yet)
Paid plans are optional and are not open yet. You cannot buy one yet, and nothing is charged today. They add a place in the labelled Featured block on your city page and the features listed below. They never change your details, your checks, or where you appear in the main list.
- Featured, $39 a month: a place in the Featured block on your city page, labelled Featured (up to three show at a time, rotating if more).
- Premier, $99 a month: everything in Featured, plus inquiries from your listing forwarded to your email, and a monthly email about your listing.
When billing opens, we will email you before your first payment. Payments will be processed by Stripe, and we never see or store full card numbers. Once you have a plan, you can manage or cancel billing at any time in the billing portal.
Founding offer
If you took our founding offer, the terms we sent you apply: $39 a month, locked for 12 months from your first payment, with Premier features. After your first 12 months we email you 30 days ahead to choose Featured ($39 a month) or Premier ($99 a month today); if you do not choose, your plan moves to Premier. The 60-day money-back guarantee means that if you ask within 60 days of your first payment, we refund it in full.
Leaving the directory
You can ask us to remove your listing at any time by writing to hello@privateschoolshortlist.com. See our corrections and removal page.
