'school' => [ 0, { 'graduation_date' => undef, 'school_name' => undef, 'school_type' => 'school' }, 1, { 'graduation_date' => undef, 'school_name' => undef, 'school_type' => 'school1' } ],
You are preceding the hashes in the array with their indexes... this is almost certainly not what you want. in square brackets items are assigned their array index by position... first is index 0, second is index 1, etc...

it should look like

'school' => [ { 'graduation_date' => undef, 'school_name' => undef, 'school_type' => 'school' }, { 'graduation_date' => undef, 'school_name' => undef, 'school_type' => 'school1' } ],
