This clue might be a double definition.

'teach' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'fishes swimming' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for school that I've seen before include "Educational institution" , "For the education of fish" , "Group of pupils, fish" , "Teach; group of fish" , "Group of porpoises - place of education" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
