What else do you call a school that provides additional education to young adults exclusively?

If I reform the statement into "Twilight inexplicably letting a small child and only the one small into her school that otherwise caters exclusivly to young adults?"

Cozy acts like an adult, is treated like an adult, attends a school that otherwise is only attended by adults, and is explicitly based on a character who was an adult who only looked like a child.

The simplest answer is that Cozy is an adult who just happens to look like a child.

The alternative, that Cozy is an adult, requires a large percentage of the cast--the Princesses and Twilights friends, to inexplicably allow a student who is far too young to be attending the Friendship School, which, again, is otherwise attended only by young adults and even had an episode showcasing that small children werren't among the student body, which either means that Twilight randomly made an exception adn only one exception for no given reason or that the School doesn't have an age requirement and then the Crusaders not being able to enroll becoems a plot hole.

What's the simplest solution, the one that requires our heroes to stupidly arbitrary and/or needlessly cruel or else triggers a huge plothole or the one where characters who are not depicted as stupid are not, in fact, stupid and there's no plothole?

I'll take the one where nobody is randomly arbitrary and there are no plotholes.
