Academic ProfileTerms

School data from open government sources

Academic Profile suggestions come from public school and university registries. We index the institution names so you can select a school faster; your typed queries are not sent back to these public sources.

K-12 coverage~310,000+ K-12 schools across 23 countries
University coverage~13,500 universities globally
FallbackFree-text school entry always remains available even when a registry match does not exist.

How the registry works

We rebuild a stable institutions registry from source snapshots, keep inactive schools for historical profile integrity, and use the registry only to power autocomplete and canonical school linking inside your account.

No student data is sent to source portalsAutocomplete queries are handled against our indexed registry, not the upstream websites.
Free text always remains validIf no result matches, you can still save a school manually in your profile.
Closed institutions stay historically resolvableWe mark missing schools inactive instead of deleting them, so old profiles do not break.
