Foppish American grounds for education (6)

I believe the answer is:

campus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'grounds for education' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'foppish american' is the wordplay.
'foppish' becomes 'camp' (I've seen this before).
'american' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for United States).
'camp'+'us'='CAMPUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for campus that I've seen before include "Higher education sector" , "Pre-planned college layout and grounds" , "student quarters" , "Grounds of university or college" , "educational location" .)
