Why is it feminine?
Escola is feminine because it derives from Latin "schola," which was feminine in gender, a word ultimately borrowed from Greek "scholē" (σχολή); Portuguese retained the feminine gender from its Latin ancestor. This is a straightforward case of gender inheritance rather than an exception, as most Portuguese nouns ending in "-a" are feminine.
