I´m between a school and ....

Hello,

Could you help me? Thank you.

One of my students is telling me that she has moved to a new house and she wrote:

I´m between a school and a small and old house.

Is this correct? Because she should say "my new house is between....". Should I correct this as wrong????

Thank you very much!
