The context is samba schools. Does this refer to a person's favorite school, their neighborhood school, the school they belong to, or something else? I don't seem to find an explanation in Portuguese or English.

agree coolbrowne : Yes. I believe the press in the US (not me, personally) has settled on "Samba School". For a translation, if I may, I would suggest having "School" in quotes or italics, with a brief explanation.
