Single school

How can we call single school/shop which have no branch?


Are "Single school / Single shop" correct here?

Forget about 'schools' unless they have branches in your country. In the UK and USA they don't. As for 'shops', unless they are branches of national/international chains, they're called independent shops/stores.
