What is the correct form: He is a student, but he (isn’t going, doesn’t go) to school right now because it’s the summer holiday?
The first clause, ‘he is a student‘ is perfectly correct - you are using the Simple Present for a statement of fact. However, you then want to say what he is doing at the moment (right now) that is, during these summer holidays. For this part of your sentence you would use your first option in the Present Continuous - ‘ he isn’t going to school‘ as we use this tense to talk about an action that is happening ‘right now’.
If you were to use the Simple Present (your second option, ‘doesn’t go‘) it would have to be in a different context and not to talk about what he is doing right now. For example:
This is a statement of fact rather than an indication of what is happening now.
Hope that has helped! Have a nice weekend.
