Convent is the usual term. Nunnery is a bit- old-fashioned. one can then speak of convent schools- schools managed by the nuns. On a larger scale there are large headquarters campus-like establishments called Motherhouses- which are operational HQ for religious orders of women and often support colleges, sister formation programs ( analogous to seminaries for men in Religious life)- and often special chapels- including those for funerals- and often cemeteries are on the ground. Convent Station, near Madison, N.J on the Erie-Lackawanna is a sterling example of a modern Motherhouse.
