It would depend on the context. The most typical meaning would be a school, most typically, an exclusive private prep school. It could also mean a large library. In the context of the brain, it could mean the cerebral cortex.

HI

For further education, in the UK, I would say college. As slang, young people might say 'Uni' (short for university). In some cases, it can be school (for example, drama school)

If I wanted to be general, I think I would say "a place of learning". But I would only use that phrase in a very general way:

- The English Heritage Trust has a list of buildings that were places of learning
