school center
A building complex or campus where several different types of schools, such as an elementary school, Realschule, and Gymnasium, are grouped together.
Das neue Schulzentrum verfügt über eine gemeinsame Mensa und eine große Sporthalle für alle Schüler.
The new school center has a shared cafeteria and a large sports hall for all students.
The word is composed of 'Schule' (school; plural 'Schulen') and 'Zentrum' (center). The 'n' is a linking sound that connects the two parts. So it literally describes a center with schools.
Alle Buslinien der Stadt halten direkt vor dem Schulzentrum.
All of the city's bus routes stop right in front of the school center.
A 'Schulzentrum' is a specific term in the German education system. It usually refers to a modern complex where different types of schools such as Gymnasium, Realschule, and Hauptschule are housed under one roof or on one campus.
Meine Tochter besucht die Realschule im Schulzentrum Nord.

Because several schools come together in a school center, facilities such as a cafeteria, sports hall, library, or auditorium are often used jointly. These words often appear in connection with 'Schulzentrum' (school center).
Die Sporthalle des Schulzentrums wird auch von lokalen Vereinen genutzt.
The sports hall of the school center is also used by local clubs.
campus
'der Campus' and 'das Schulzentrum' both refer to grounds with several buildings used for learning. The difference lies in the type of institution. 'Campus' is used mainly for a university, college, or sometimes a large company. 'Schulzentrum' is used for grounds where several schools or school types are located together. The words can be confused because both seem like a large place for learning. For university students and higher education institutions, 'Campus' sounds natural. For school pupils and different schools in one place, 'Schulzentrum' fits better.
