day school

Home-sleeping students' academy

A day school is a school where students attend during the day and return home in the evening, as opposed to a boarding school where students live on campus.

The term often appears in the names of private schools: She enrolled her children in a local day school.

It can also refer to a school that holds classes during daytime rather than evening hours.
