HI yeser, are you referring to an old school, escuela o colegio viejo, or the idiomatic meaning of "he is old school" for example?

In the latter case, this would be: es anticuado, es un antiguo,

Es de la vieja escuelawink

The meaning of old school depends on context: it can mean something old fashioned that is better than what is current and therefore cool, or it can mean something hopelessly out-dated. It is unlikely that there is a single Spanish phrase that changes meaning in exactly the same way.

I would guess that "Old School" is a strictly English term. It is possible that no phrase en español has the same meaning! cheese
