Student does not only mean a child in school. Adults at colleges and universities are students, and someone can be a student of a subject without attending a formal class.
Try it in class or at home
Make two columns labeled formal student and student of a subject. Sort examples such as fifth grader, college learner, student of birds, and student of history. Then write one sentence for each meaning and underline the context clues.
