Schola, scholae (f) is an even better example than pons, pontis of a word in Latin being the source of cognate words in several modern languages. Here are words for school in various European languages including English and German, which are, of course, not Romance languages:
English school
French l'ecole (f) [the acute accent on the first e has been omitted]
German die Schule (f)
Italian scuola (f)
Portuguese escola (f)
Spanish escuela (f)
