How it's used
This verb is used specifically for attending classes as a student. It is not used for teachers or staff, who instead use 返工 to describe going to their place of work. The term implies the daily routine of attending an educational institution rather than just the act of traveling to a school building.
Examples
What time do you have to go to school every day?
I really liked going to school when I was a kid.

Do not use this word to describe going to school for a meeting or a visit. It strictly refers to the status of being a student who attends classes regularly.
