This is why the ISCED codes exist:

They are already used in OSM:

So the original enquiry can be addressed with building=school and
isced:level=*

"college" for example is not a very clear term for use on global scale, because it can mean different things in different places / context. Something more abstract like secondary_school or different words like vocational school or professional school, which describe a concept, would IMHO be better than college.
