School for code-cracking (2-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

co-ed

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

'school' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'code-cracking' is the wordplay.
'cracking' indicates an anagram.
'code' is an anagram of 'CO-ED'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for co-ed that I've seen before include "School for both sexes" , "Teaching attended by both sexes" , "Teaching both girls and boys" , "School for boys and girls, in short" .)
