grammar school
Early childhood institution
Grammar school refers to different types of schools depending on location and era.
In the United States, it's an old-fashioned term for elementary school—the early years of formal education.
In Britain, grammar schools are selective secondary schools that admit students based on academic ability, typically through an entrance exam at age eleven.
The term originally referred to schools teaching Latin grammar, the foundation of classical education.
