A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of teachers.
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, but these higher education institutions are usually not compulsory.
In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary and secondary education.
Other private schools can also be religious, such as Christian schools, madrasa, hawzas , yeshivas , and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education or seek to foster other personal achievements.
Schools are commonly organized in several different organizational models, including departmental, small learning communities, academies, integrated, and schools-within-a-school.
