"A schoolyard or school campus is the region within the boundaries of a school used for teaching, extracurricular activities and other aspects of daily life at school.
However, some schools do not use a wall to indicate the range of the schoolyard, in these cases the general activities of teaching and after-school activities can also be called campus life and "schoolyard" or "campus" often is used as a synonym for school life.
The term also may refer to only the outdoor portion of a campus, distinguished from classroom space. In this context, the schoolyard may be used as a teaching space to instruct students about ecological systems. In recent years there has been a growing movement around the world to create "green" schoolyards that incorporate learning gardens, storm water capture elements, and other natural features that promote environmental literacy." - (en.wikipedia.org 10.10.2021)
