I am not talking about something philosophical and abstract. If you have someone formally learning under a trained expert, you have a teacher/master/coach and a student/apprentice. There does not have to be any facility called a school. There are home tutors. There are people like biologists and archaeologists who can spend their lives out in the field without ever having a campus or office to go back to. There were trades where you had a master and an apprentice. And for soldiers, they can have coaches.
If you really want to split hairs, the leprechauns don't have a legal status, period. They are creations that are not legally registered as citizens, people, or objects of any kind. But in the context of this story, Willem is their teacher or coach, and the leprechauns are receiving his teachings, so they are students.

You're splitting hair.
Also, there was no sarcasm nor condescending. But whatever.
