industrial school
Vocational training facility
An industrial school was an institution, typically in the 19th and early 20th centuries, that combined basic education with vocational training for poor, orphaned, or delinquent children.
The curriculum emphasized manual skills—farming, carpentry, domestic work—preparing students for working-class labor.
In practice, many industrial schools functioned as reformatories or detention facilities, and some became notorious for harsh conditions and abuse.
He was sent to an industrial school at age twelve.
