Cultural Tip

The word "cole" is informal and mainly used by teenagers and young adults. In formal contexts (e.g., a letter to a principal) you would use "colegio" or "escuela". Also, many Spanish‑speaking schools organize clubs for sports, music, debate, and community service, and mentioning them is a great way to show enthusiasm for school life.
