as an adverb prepositional phrase

Adverbs are the part of speech that tell us where. In the sentence, the phrase begins with a preposition and ends with the noun: schools. This makes it a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase is telling where Toni's father taught. Adverbs often answer the question of where the action is taking place.
