In a private elementary school or in private elementary school
I am going to make up two pairs of similar sentences.
(1a) Mary's child is in private elementary school.
(1b) Mary's child is in a private elementary school.
(2a) John wants to study in private school.
(2b) John wants to study in a private school.
I am not sure if it is correct to use the indefinite article "a" in the (b)'s. Please explain this. Thanks a lot.
