A 'day school' is - as opposed to a
boarding school - an
institution where
children are given educational instruction during the day and after which children return to their
homes. The term can also be used to emphasize the length of full-day programs as opposed to after-school programs, as in
Jewish day school.
----
The term 'day school' is also increasingly used for a one-off series of lectures or classes, taking place on a single day, usually on a particular topic and usually directed at adult learners with little time to spare.
