"AT" is correct in British English, "IN" is correct in American English so take your pick.

Children are helped to learn new things in school.
I'd personally not but the "in school" in the middle, it looks awkward. Because "schooling" is really an activity you are "in school" or "in class". It's confused because the building has the same name, so you can "meet someone AT the school"

I would say "helped AT school to learn new things"

I would say that, "Teachers help children learn things in school."

You need to learn to spell.
Children are helped whilst in school to learn to spell.
Children are helped by teachers at school to learn to spell.
Adults asking questions whilst not at school should use the 'check spelling' feature on Yahoo Answers

I think both are right, depending on where you are. The American expression is "in school", the British is "at school".

In my experience, people tend to use both with similar frequency. Myself, I think I use "in" moreso than "at".
