“转学”用move school还是move schools

“搬家”是 move house 或 move home，必须用单数名词。

请问“转学”用move school还是move schools？也必须用单数名词吗？

我的理解是：当把“转学”当作一个概念时，通常school是抽象的，一般用单数。请看外刊例句：

当把“转学”当作一件事，一种做法，通常school是具体的，一般用复数。请看外刊例句：

请对比体会作者在此文中为什么一个使用单数，一个使用复数：

“转学”建议用change schools，这个在权威词典上能找到相关例句。

I had to change schools every time my parents flitted. (Oxford)

The inflexibility of educational systems makes it difficult to change schools or universities in mid-year. (Cambridge)

至于使用move，一些英语人士并不太认可这种用法。

下面是部分搜索结果示例：

a child has to move school 20

a child has to move schools 32

a child has to change schools 65
