convent education
Sisters' school training
Convent education refers to schooling provided by Catholic nuns, typically in schools attached to or run by a convent.
Historically associated with strict discipline, religious instruction, and academic rigor, convent schools educated generations of girls before coeducation became widespread.
The phrase often carries connotations of old-fashioned propriety and structured moral formation.
