school house

Rural education facility

A schoolhouse is a building where classes are held, especially a small, single-building school in a rural area.

The term evokes an older, simpler era of education—the one-room schoolhouse with students of all ages taught by a single teacher.

The old schoolhouse had been converted into a community center.

Also spelled as two words: school house.
