In my liiiife I love you more!

In school or at school?

-So, which one is correct?
-Ai, eu acho que é in.
-Nem, é at.
-Isso é pegadinha! Não é nenhum desses! O certo é on school!
-Well, both IN or AT can be correct, depending on the situation. Let's just ignore ON, okay? Thank you!

Quando falamos da escola como um LUGAR, a PLACE, usamos AT.
-Where is she?
-It's 10.30, she's at school, of course!

Agora, se a ideia é dizer que a pessoa está estudando, faz parte do corpo discente, ou seja, vai à escola, mas não está, necessariamente, na escola naquele momento, IN.
-Are you in school?
-Yes, I'm in junior high.
