Language school is an educational institution where one studies a (foreign) language and which does not give a degree a bachelors or a masters degree. However, certificates for a language degree (such as a CEFR-level A1, B1, ...) are typically given.
As education=* has been adopted as the recommended key for tagging all education features, you may want to use education=language_school instead.
