schulisch

Schulisch is an adjective in the German language meaning "related to school" or "educational." It is used to describe things that pertain to schooling, the educational system, or the school environment, rather than private life or non-institutional contexts.

Etymology: The word is formed from Schule (school) with the standard adjectival suffix -isch. It appears mainly in formal, administrative, and educational language. In everyday speech, other expressions or the noun form Schule may be preferred; schulisch tends to appear in compound terms or technical contexts.

Usage and examples: Common collocations include schulische Bildung (school education), schulische Leistungen (school performance), schulische Förderung (educational support), schulische Infrastruktur (school infrastructure), and schulische Maßnahmen (educational measures). Schulisch can be used attributively, as in schulische Leistungen, or predicatively, e.g., Die schulische Situation hat sich verbessert. It is often contrasted with außerschulisch, meaning activities outside of school.

Notes: The term can appear in compound forms to indicate school-related reasons, such as schulisch bedingte Fehlzeiten (absences due to school obligations). In policy or statistics, schulisch is common when distinguishing school-based phenomena from other contexts.
