schoolings

Lessons in discipline

Schoolings is the plural of schooling, which refers to formal education or training.

Most often schooling is uncountable—you speak of someone's schooling as a whole rather than counting individual instances.

The plural appears when distinguishing separate educational experiences: The schoolings they received in different countries shaped their worldviews differently.
