Introduction
A school is an institution designed for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction
of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory. In
these systems, student progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by
country but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers
who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught, is commonly
called a university college or university.
In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and
after primary and secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very
young children (typically ages 35). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be
available after secondary school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular field, such as a
school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum
and methods.
There are also non-government schools, called private schools. Private schools may be required
when the government does not supply adequate, or special education. Other private schools can
also be religious, such as Christian schools, hawzas, yeshivas, and others; or schools that have a
higher standard of education or seek to foster other personal achievements. Schools for adults
include institutions of corporate training, Military education and training and business schools.

A boarding school is a school in which most or all of the students live during the part of the year
that they go to lessons. The word 'boarding' is used in the sense of "bed and board," i.e., lodging and
meals. Some boarding schools also have day students who attend the institution by day and return
off-campus to their families in the evenings.
Many independent (private) schools are boarding schools. Boarding school pupils ("boarders")
normally return home during the school holidays and often weekends, but in some cultures may
spend the majority of their childhood and adolescent life away from their families.
Some schools were a type of specialized school with a specific focus in a particular field or fields
such as mathematics, physics, language, science, sports, etc
