question
grammar
は、には、に。。。what is the difference between them?
Grammatical explanation is this は in your sentence is a topic marker, this に
is used as a postpositional particle which indicate place and this には is a
compound word of に and は and this は is emphasis.

If you use は as a topic marker, the meaning of the sentence 1 and 2 is almost
same but if you can use は as contrast and emphasis, the sentence 1 and 3 have
the meaning.

answer
Simply speaking, for this example, は emphasizes the **topic** of the sentence,
に emphasizes the concept of **location** , and には emphasizes the **location as
the topic**.

Translating your three examples, which correspond to は, に, and には, we get:

  1. **On the topic of my school (がっこう は),** there is a Japanese teacher.
  2. **At my school (がっこう に),** there is a Japanese teacher.
  3. **On the topic of (the location that is) at my school (がっこう には),** there is a Japanese teacher.

All three are grammatically correct, but have slightly different nuances to
them.
