Effective Date: 11/13/2026
Schoolia is a product of Terra Science and Education (“Schoolia”, “we”, “us”). These Terms of Service apply to the Schoolia.com website, to the school portals on schoolia.com subdomains, and to the text messages and emails that Schoolia sends. By using them you agree to these terms. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
Where a school has a written agreement with Terra Science and Education, that agreement governs the school’s use of Schoolia, and it prevails over these terms where they differ.
Schools use Schoolia to manage applications, lotteries, waitlists, offers and enrollment. Parents and guardians use their school’s Schoolia portal to create an account, apply for their children and follow the status of their applications. Each school sets its own admission rules and makes its own admission decisions; Schoolia provides the software and does not decide who is admitted.
Parent and guardian accounts are for adults acting for their own children. Children do not create accounts. You agree to give accurate information, to keep your password and verification codes private, and to tell your school or us promptly if you think someone else has used your account. You are responsible for activity in your account. School staff accounts are created by the school and are governed by the school’s agreement with us.
You agree not to:
We may suspend access that breaks these rules or puts the service or other users at risk.
Student and application records in a school’s portal belong to that school. We process them on the school’s behalf and under its instructions, as described in the school’s agreement with us and in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell student or family information and do not use it for advertising.
A school may connect its own Google Ads or Meta advertising account to Schoolia, to see advertising results next to enrollment results. Only school staff who are authorized to grant access to that advertising account may connect it. Access is read-only: Schoolia reads reporting data and never creates, changes or deletes campaigns or ads. The school can disconnect the account at any time in Schoolia, in its Google Account settings or in Meta Business Settings. The school’s use of Google Ads and Meta remains subject to Google’s and Meta’s own terms. What we read and how we use it is described in the Privacy Policy.
Program. Schoolia school enrollment notifications. Schoolia sends text messages to parents and guardians on behalf of the schools that use Schoolia. Each message names Schoolia and, where it concerns an application, the school.
Messages you receive. Verification codes for your phone number, application and enrollment status updates (such as admission offers and waitlist positions), and notices about your account. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages.
How to join. In your Schoolia parent account on your school’s portal, add your mobile phone number and check the box “Text me about my application”. The box is never checked for you, and agreeing to receive text messages is not a condition of applying to a school.
Frequency and cost. Message frequency varies with your application activity, usually a few messages per month. Message and data rates may apply, according to your mobile plan.
How to stop. Reply STOP to any message at any time. You will receive one message confirming that you are unsubscribed, and no further text messages after that. You will still receive emails about your application. To join again, reply START, or check the box again in your account.
Help. Reply HELP to any message, or email info@schoolia.com. For questions about your application itself, contact your school.
Privacy. See our Privacy Policy. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
Carriers. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Supported carriers include the major carriers in the United States. Text messages are sent to United States phone numbers only.
We send emails that are needed to run your account and applications, such as sign-in codes, invitations and status updates, on behalf of your school. These are not marketing emails. You can ask to stop optional emails by writing to privacy@schoolia.com.
The portals use services from other companies, such as Google Maps, Google Places and Google Translate for maps, address suggestions and page translation. Those services are provided under their providers’ own terms and privacy policies. Machine translation may be inaccurate; the English text is the version that counts.
The Schoolia software, design and content are owned by Terra Science and Education or its licensors. You may use them only to use the service as these terms allow. Information and files that you or your school submit remain yours or your school’s.
We work to keep Schoolia available, accurate and secure, but the service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we make no warranties beyond those stated in these terms or in a school’s agreement with us. Admission decisions, deadlines and lottery rules are set by each school.
To the extent the law allows, Terra Science and Education is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from the use of Schoolia. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
You may stop using Schoolia at any time and may ask your school or us to close your account. We may suspend or close access that breaks these terms. When a school stops using Schoolia, its data is handled as its agreement with us provides.
We may update these terms. The Effective Date above shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will give notice on this website or in the portal before it takes effect.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
