Grammar
"At or in"
Hi
Could you please tell me which is grammatically correct?
I need to be in school at 6am.
I need to be at school at 6am.
Because i'm getting confused between in or at. Thanks in advance!

Personally, I would normally say, "I need to be at school at 6 am." And I speak American English.
If school actually started at 6 am and I was sitting in my class, then I would say that I was in school at 6 am.

Blue JayThey are both fine, but at is more common in BrE and in is more common in AmE.I don't see that.
By the way, I might say, "I need to be to school by 6 a.m."
