Right now we have amenity=school<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dschool>, amenity=college <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcollege>and amenity=university<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Duniversity>. Then we have isced:xxx=value <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:isced>for determining the level of a school by the International Standard Classification of Education.
What about the general subject of a school? There are music schools, law schools, medicine schools, and so on. I would describe them in a tag * school=**. So we would have school=music, school=law etc.. Primary and middle schools that have no specific subject could be school=general. A university is mapped with a polygon that has amenity=university, but individual buildings could have school tags, like school=law or school=economics. This could also be used with: - driving schools (amenity=school + school=driving instead of amenity=driving_school) - foreign language schools (amenity=school + school=language + language=en;fr;de) - pottery workshops (amenity=school + school=pottery) - karate schools (amenity=school + school=sport + sport=karate) There are a lot of possible values for this tag, some of them are: Agriculture, Architecture, Biology, Chemistry, Design, Driving, Economics, Electronics, Geodesy, Geography, Geology, Language, Law, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, Painting, Physics, Sport, etc.. Thanks for your opinions, Janko Mihelić
