If you say that someone is from the old school, it means that they were taught in a certain way and still adhere to what they learned, regarding progress as not a necessarily good thing and believing old methods/traditional methods were the best. In the UK, we usually apply it to upper class people with top education, who generally think that everything they know or do is better than anyone or anything else and ignore new ideas.

"Old fashioned", particularly of an code of behaviour or a social attitude.
It can be used with approval or contempt, depending on whether the newer way of doing things is seen as modern and dynamic, or a corruption or pale imitation of how things used to be.
"James Bond is a spy of the old school. Nowadays it is more electronic intelligence and the internet than fast cars and shaken martinis."

For my 12-yr-old, it means any style older than four months or so.
For me, it means really conservative Republican like mom-n-dad.
Or, something from the 1920's Harlem in which Cool Cats still thrive.
