** A '''school''' is both the [[educational institution]] and [[Educational architecture|building]] designed to provide [[learning space]]s and [[learning environment]]s for the [[teaching]] of [[student]]s under the direction of [[teacher]]s. Most countries have systems of formal [[education]], which is sometimes [[compulsory education|compulsory]].  In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organization. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the ''[[School#Regional terms|Regional terms]]'' section below) but generally include [[primary school]] for young children and [[secondary school]] for teenagers who have completed [[primary education]]. An institution where [[higher education]] is taught is commonly called a [[university college]] or [[university]]. In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education.  [[Kindergarten]] or [[preschool]] provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University, [[vocational school]], [[college]] or [[seminary]] may be available after secondary school. A school may be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or dance. [[Alternative school]]s may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods. Non-government schools, also known as [[private schools]],  may be required when the government does not supply adequate or specific educational needs. Other private schools can also be religious, such as [[Christian school]]s, [[gurukula]] (Hindu schools), [[madrasa]] (Arabic schools), [[hawza]]s (Shi'i Muslim schools), [[yeshiva]]s (Jewish schools), and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education or seek to foster other personal achievements. Schools for adults include institutions of [[corporate training]], [[military education and training]] and [[business school]]s. [[Criticism of schooling|Critics of school]] often accuse the school system of failing to adequately prepare students for their future lives,  of encouraging certain temperaments while inhibiting others,<ref name=":1"></ref> of prescribing students exactly what to do, how, when, where and with whom, which would suppress [[creativity]],  and of using [[extrinsic]] measures such as [[Grading in education|grades]] and [[homework]], which would inhibit children's natural [[curiosity]] and desire to learn.  <P> In [[homeschooling]] and [[distance education]], teaching and learning take place independent from the institution of school or in a [[virtual school]] outside a traditional school building, respectively. Schools are organized in several different [[school organizational models|organizational models]], including departmental, small learning communities, academies, integrated, and schools-within-a-school.
