residential school*
This term means: "Deaf School." It can also be used to mean:
campus, institute or institution. (But I don't recommend using it to
mean "campus." )
* State residential school for the deaf. Students live there during the week and go home on weekends or school holidays--(depending on the program).
* Most Deaf people are proud of having attended a “Deaf-school.” It
is culturally similar to the "Hearing world" practice of having attended a
prestigious boarding school. Rich Hearing people might speak with pride
regarding having attended certain "boarding schools" or
"prep schools." Culturally Deaf (as opposed to merely
physically deaf) people express pride at having attended a Deaf school.
