school的含义(指中小学还是也包括大学)

My two sons and one daughter are all in school.

请问这里 in school 指的是他们在上中小学，还是也包括大学的可能？

▲school 通常表示中小学，不指大学。如：

It is good to hand in neat, legible and carefully presented work in school or college.

但在美国英语中，school 也可指大学。如以下解释摘自《朗文》词典：

▲school: [C,U] [AmE] a college or university, or the time when you study there 大学; 大学期间:

Their kids are away at school now. 他们的孩子现在都在上大学。

She was going to school in Boston. 她在波士顿上大学。
