The word school is one of the oldest words in the English language, being basically similar to the word "scol" used in Old English twelve hundred years ago. It is a word found in other Germanic languages as well, such as the German "shule".

If you are wondering about the name of your particular school, some schools are named after the street that they are on or the town they are in. Others are named after notable persons.
