Schools

A school is an institution that provides education to students of various ages. Schools can be public or private and can offer education from primary school through to higher education. The type of education provided at a school can vary, but typically includes academic subjects such as math, science, language arts, and social studies. Schools may also offer extracurricular activities such as sports, music, and art, as well as support services such as counseling and tutoring. Schools are an important part of a community, and play a vital role in shaping the educational and personal development of students.
