The ASL sign for "school" is simple — it looks like a small clap. Steps:
1. Make both hands flat (B-handshape).
2. Hold them in front of you, about chest height, with palms facing each other (or slightly down).
3. Tap (clap) your dominant hand onto your non‑dominant hand twice — a small, quick double clap.
4. Keep a neutral facial expression (no special mouth movement required).
Notes and tips:
- If someone doesn’t know the sign, you can fingerspell S‑C‑H‑O‑O‑L.
- Regional or individual variations exist, so you may see slight differences in palm orientation or number of taps.
- To indicate a specific level (elementary, high, college), sign "school" then add the sign for the level (or fingerspell the level).
- Best practice: learn and practice with videos or with Deaf signers/ASL instructors (resources: Signing Savvy, ASL University/Lifeprint, or reputable ASL instructors on YouTube).
If you want, I can link to a video or show a short animation of the sign.
