Rethinking What Counts as a School Today

Original: In Today’s Education Landscape, What Is a School?

A new commentary asks a basic but contested question: what actually defines a school in today's education landscape? With the rise of online learning, homeschooling, microschools, and charter models, the traditional classroom building no longer captures how many children are educated. The piece argues that policymakers and families need clearer definitions as education increasingly happens outside conventional school walls, a debate likely to shape funding and regulation discussions.

Why now: Growing debate over alternative education models like homeschooling and microschools is prompting people to question traditional definitions of schooling.
