The research is devoted to the analysis of collocations with the lemma SCHOOL in The Guardian and The New York Times issues published late in 2020 and early 2021. Two corpora have been created, each consisting of 70 articles devoted to problems of schools during Covid-19 time. The Sketch engine is the tool to process both corpora. The study mostly concentrates on the following patterns: modifiers of SCHOOL, verbs with SCHOOL as object. The analysis shows that the broadsheets reveal different aspects connected with school functioning during pandemic time. The Guardian articles present Primary+SCHOOL and Secondary+SCHOOL collocations as most frequent collocations with the first one twice more often used than the latter among modifiers of SCHOOL, in this way underlying most urgent questions schools, teachers and authorities face right now. The question of teachers’ well-being is also raised in the broadsheet discourse as teachers receive more pressure during the school closing/opening process and distance learning mode. The New York Times discourse displays High+SCHOOL and Public+SCHOOL collocations with most frequent use, followed by Private+SCHOOL and Elementary+SCHOOL collocations, which demonstrates social issues depicted in the newspaper discourse and which are relevant for the country at the present time. The pattern verb+SCHOOL as object gives the picture of most vital problems connected with school closure, reopening and attendance. Thus, the most frequent collocations in The Guardian are Close+SCHOOL and Reopen+SCHOOL, while The New York Times offers Reopen+SCHOOL and Attend+SCHOOL. The both newspapers mostly give publicity to the events about schools which are happening in their countries. The media discourse reflects concerns about safety and bringing children back to school in the two countries. Many questions are connected with vaccination, though it is more highlighted in The New York articles.
