Where lessons happen
Classrooms is the plural of classroom—a room where teaching and learning take place, typically in a school or university.
The word extends to any designated learning space: The debate spilled out of classrooms and into the streets.
A classroom setting implies structured, formal instruction as opposed to hands-on or experiential learning.
