It was Louis Khan that likened the Form of a school to a single tree: “schools began with a man under a tree who did not know he was a teacher discussing his realization with a few who did not know they were students,” (James Williamson, Kahn at Penn) he famously said.

For a few children one tree would suffice, but that would not do for 850 children. When there are more trees, they come to form woods or forests. However, we made the point to adopt the image of a zōkibayashi.
