School is an institution designed to provide learning spaces and environments for teaching students under the direction of teachers. It falls under secondary socialization. Schools have different levels including pre-school, primary school, secondary school, and tertiary. Schools have both manifest, or intended, functions and latent, or unintended, functions. The manifest function is to convey norms, beliefs, and values through formal education, while latent functions include students discovering new values and attitudes from teachers and developing intellectually, physically, culturally, and emotionally. The overall conclusion is that schools aim to assist families in developing well-integrated, socialized children who will become responsible adults in society.
