collegio e scuola diurna
Explanation:
C'è la possibilità di frequentare la scuola tutti i giorni, vivendo a casa per gli studenti locali, oppure di vivere lì. E' molto comune in Gran Bretagna fra le scole private avere questa possibilità di scelta. C'è anche la formula mista - si vive a scuola durante la settimana, tornando a casa per i fine settimana - che si chiama weekly boarding

convitto e scuola normale


Explanation:
Boarding is an arrangement by which children live at school during the school term (Collins Cobuild English dictionary) = convitto, collegio.
"Day school" = scuola normale, i cui alunni seguono le lezioni durante il giorno e poi tornano a casa nel pomeriggio/la sera.
