This is also from a study on school refusal/truancy. It is in the references, so I don't have any context other than the title of the work, which is 現代におけるスリースクールの役割について.

Selected
three-tier school system ('three schools')
Definitely guessing and haven't verified on Google, but would guess that this refers to 小学校, 中学校 and 高等学校. Happy to be corrected :-)

Actually, this is probably a typo for フリースクール, which is definitely more along the lines of your context.
See this entry from ALC:
# 不登校の生徒のフリースクールへの出席を学校への出席時間と見なす
regard attendance at free schools for absentees as legitimate study hours
And this page from the MEXT website (http://www.mext.go.jp/b_menu/shingi/chukyo/chukyo3/gijiroku/... uses 'フリー' but then goes on to use スリー. The 'f' and 's' are close enough on the keyboard to be a legitimate typo, and this is also a common OCR error (ス and フ look similar).

If the author in your refs. matches up with the one(s) for http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:off... , then you can probably safely say that this was a typo.
So allow me to change my answer to "free school."
Although this seems a little wasei-eigo to me, it seems pretty official, as used by the "Japan Free School Association," (NPO法人日本フリースクール協会). http://www.t-net.ne.jp/~eisei/jfsa.htm

Free School
This might be a typo for フリースクール. I've never heard of "three schools." But "free schools" are common in Japan. A google search will give you an idea. Free School would also make sence if you are talking about truancy etc.. See link.
