Classroom vs. Homeroom — What's the Difference?

A classroom or schoolroom is a learning space in which both children and adults learn. Classrooms are found in educational institutions of all kinds, ranging from preschools to universities, and may also be found in other places where education or training is provided, such as corporations and religious and humanitarian organizations.

A homeroom, tutor group, form class or form is a short administrative class that occurs in primary school and secondary school. Within homeroom, administrative documents are distributed, attendance is marked, announcements are made and students are given the opportunity to plan for the day.
