Coeducational school When speaking we often use the shortened coed school. Public / private / community etc. just describes who runs the school and isn �t necessary unless you want to add that information. |

Yes, you are right. Coed school or mixed school. The opposite is single sex school. Or just a boys � school or a girls � school. |

In my part of the world a mixed gender school is the norm; therefore they are just called schools. It is understood by all that they are for boys and girls together. There is no special name for it. Only when a school deviates from that norm, and teaches only boys or only girls, it is explicitly mentioned. In that case it would become a boys � school or a girls � school. If nothing is mentioned, one can assume it is a mixed gender school. |

In the UK, there are a number of single sex schools and they are proliferating, because of the �free schools � initiative. Anybody and her husband can set up a school. Many of them are along religious lines. How divisive is that? |
