Terms of use

The plain-English terms for using Private School Shortlist, an independent directory of private schools and learning programs in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia.

Who runs this site

Private School Shortlist (privateschoolshortlist.com) is an independent directory of private schools and learning programs in Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia. It is run by Valyou LLC. You can reach us at hello@privateschoolshortlist.com.

By using this site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Independent, not official

Private School Shortlist is an independent directory, not a government website. We are not affiliated with any state education agency or school choice program.

What the listings are, and are not

Listings are drafted from official public lists, a business-listings data service, and each provider's own website. Every fact on a listing shows its source and the date we last checked it, and we leave off any fact we cannot source and date.

Text a provider writes about its own school is shown as the provider wrote it, and we do not check it before it shows.

Details can change after we check them. The listings are information to help you start comparing, not advice and not a recommendation. We do not rate, inspect or guarantee any school or program, and a listing does not mean we endorse it. Before you apply or enroll, confirm tuition, program participation, award amounts and anything else that matters to you directly with the school and with the program's official source.

Paid plans are not open yet, and nothing is charged today. When they open, schools and programs can pay for a place in a block labelled "Featured" on their city page. Payment never changes the order of the main list, a listing's details, or its checks. How this works is set out on our How this directory works page.

Sending us information

If you send an inquiry through a listing, we pass your name, email address and message to that school or program only. What happens next is between you and them. Our privacy notice explains what we keep and for how long.

Using our forms

Our inquiry, alert and shortlist forms are for your own use. Use only your own email address, and send only true information. Do not send bulk, automated or scripted submissions. Do not use a form to send a school or program marketing, spam, harassment, or anything unlawful or abusive. We may block or remove any submission that breaks these rules.

Other websites

Listings link to official records and to schools' own websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for what they say.

No warranty, and limits on our liability

We provide the listings "as is". Each sourced fact shows the date we last checked it, and it may have changed since then. We do not promise that the listings are accurate, complete or up to date, or that the site will always be available.

To the extent the law allows, Valyou LLC is not liable for decisions you make based on the listings, or for any indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability to you is limited to US$100, or to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem happened, if that is more. Families and students pay nothing to use this site.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that the law does not allow us to limit.

If you spot a mistake, please tell us through our corrections and removal page so we can fix it.
