[Idiom] Have school?

[Buddy42]

In German we tend to use the word school "verb-like", as in: I've got school today. /-> to have school/
I wonder whether it is possible to use it in a similar way in English or whether I should use "classes" instead.

 

[Tarheel]

I think "I have school today" would be understood by any and all as the same as "I have classes today".

What do you mean by "verb-like"?

as in: I've got school today.

That's grammatical in English, but "school" is a noun in it, not a verb.
