Tag:building=school

For any generic school buildings. Buildings for specific uses (sports halls etc) should be tagged for their purpose.

Use amenity=school for the perimeter of the school grounds (or amenity=college or amenity=kindergarten).

There is a similar tag used for universities building=university

How to map

• The school building fills the school ground completely
  Map the outline of the area of the building and add the tags amenity=school and building=school. Of course you can add name=* and address as well.

• The school ground is larger than the building
  Map the whole area of school grounds including all the buildings and add tags amenity=school and name=*.
  Add the tags building=school to every school building, and appropriate tags to buildings that have no classrooms, such as building=shed.

You can use tags amenity=college or amenity=kindergarten as well depending on the school's level.
