Capitalization
I am writing a story that goes in a school. Does the capitalization required for 's' in "the School" where ever used?

Re: Capitalization
school should start with lower case s, unless it's at the begining of a sentence. I'm a not native speaker so pls check with other too

Re: Capitalization
Yes, like others have said, "the school" is not capitalized (e.g. You can take evening yoga classes at the school on Main Street.").
But if "school" is a part of a name, remember to capitalize it (e.g. You can take evening yoga classes at Washington High School on Main Street.)
