I'm pretty sure that not every school in every country can do this. But this is what the cool kids are doing. " Today, high school and college students design, fabricate, and launch nano-, pico-, and even femto-satellites such as CubeSats, PocketQubes, and SunCubes." This information comes up in the context of a new Amazon web service called 'Ground Station' that will allow you to contact those satellites. Now I imagine most schools that can launch their own satellite have their own ground station as well. But this may be a way to allow them to share their satellite. Assuming, of course, they were so inclined.
