schooldays

Time before graduation

Schooldays are the years spent in formal education, typically from childhood through adolescence.

The word carries nostalgic weight, evoking memories of classrooms, friendships, and coming-of-age experiences: I haven't seen her since our schooldays.

Often appears in the phrase back in my schooldays.

Also spelled as two words: school days.
