I believe "school" is metaphorically exactly what you describe as "neighborhood", Caroline: The nearby location where learning experiences most often takes place. To elaborate a bit: At first I thought "no, a school is an institution" but that's my narrow use of the word which is broken, not the word itself, I believe. As a kid I did not think of school as an institution, that came later. Back then it was an integral part of my life - the place I went to for education. Just as activities technically are "applications" or "programs" but not promoted as such, the "school" makes sense to not advertise as a "server": From a user perspective it is really irrelevant if it is one server or a cloud of services or an integral part of the internet.
