Usage notes

  • Use 'scuola' for both the building and the institution; 'classe' refers to the group of students or the room.
  • Avoid 'lezione' for 'school'—it means 'lesson' or 'class session,' not the institution.
  • 'Andare a scuola' means 'to attend school'; no article is needed in this phrase.
