Usage Note

Escolar is invariable for gender (el año escolar, la vida escolar) but takes plural -es (actividades escolares). It functions purely as an adjective meaning 'of or relating to school'; the noun for a schoolchild is escolar (same form). Do not confuse with universitario, which refers specifically to university level.
