Place of learning, possibly of thought (6)
I believe the answer is:
school
'place of learning' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for school that I've seen before include "Large group of fish" , "company that's all at sea" , "For the education of fish" , "A number of fish" , "Group of sea creatures" .)
