You only have to load the font, tha's all ...

\input luaotfload.sty
\font\rm="[texgyreschola-regular.otf]:+lnum;+dlig"
\font\bf="TeXGyre Schola/B:+lnum;+dlig"
\font\it="TeXGyre Schola/I:+lnum;+dlig"
\font\bfit="TeXGyre Schola/BI:+lnum;+dlig" at 15pt

\rm
TeX Gyre Schola regular

\bf TeX Gyre Schola bold

\it TeX Gyre Schola italic

\bfit  TeX Gyre Schola bolditalic
