This dimension sorts educational institutions by their basic type, a preschool, a secondary school or a university. Wikipedia notes that educational institutions include "preschools, childcare, primary-elementary schools, secondary-high schools, and universities." Browsing by institution type keeps institutions of the same basic kind grouped together.
