What's the correct way to imply that a course is not taken online?

Question

I'd like to know how I should write on my CV that some courses I've taken were taken online (i.e. on websites, through videos and such) while others were actually taken on an institute/school etc.

For example:

Online Education

Foo (at example.com)
Bar (at somesite.com)

(place your suggestion here) education

Baz 
Quux

There's a word in Portuguese which is sometimes used to convey that meaning: presencial. I think it would be possible to use the English word presential with the same meaning, but somehow it doesn't sound so natural.

Could anybody present some possibilities? Thanks in advance.

Two terms that can be used are:

In residence (or "resident")
Face-to-face

The term face-to-face is often used in educational literature (e.g., see this Google result).

The term traditional classroom or traditional classroom setting is used in scholarly writing to refer to that mode of content delivery.  Other modes of delivery are the online setting and the hybrid setting.

"In-person" is the first thing that comes to my mind.
