There is nothing in the text that indicates Laertes is in school. He came from France, and wishes to return there after coming back to Denmark to attend King Claudius' wedding.

Hamlet, on the other hand, attended school in Wittenburg, and wishes to retrun there, but Claudius (and more so, Gertrude) convincce him to stay in Denmark. good thing, there wouldn't have been much of a play had he skipped out in the second scene of the play...
