schools

Where pupils gather

Schools are institutions for teaching and learning, typically for children and adolescents: elementary school, high school.

The word extends to universities and specialized training programs: law school, film school.

A school is also a group of fish or other aquatic animals swimming together.

As a verb, to school someone is to educate or train them, or informally, to defeat them decisively while demonstrating superior skill: He got schooled on the basketball court.

A school of thought is a shared set of beliefs or methods among a group.
