In the most German pedantic way: "in der Schule"
Oh right, Dativ.
My excuse is that I come from a language background with no articles, so declension on articles are unnatural to me! In fact, articles are unnatural to me!
In Estonian, the noun cases for that word would be
kool
kooli
kooli
kooli
koolis
koolist
koolile
koolil
koolilt
koolini
koolina
koolita
kooliga
kooliks
We have 14 of those so we get to skip prepositions and thus only need to decline the noun itself and any adjectives in front of it (or behind it if you're writing a poem and it flows better that way, Estonian is very weird when it comes to actually sentence ordering the words in a)
