.com or .org

Hi,
I am somehow involved in the management of the website for my local school and local parish. One is wordpress.org and the other is wordpress.com.
Can a website be changed from one platform to the other without having to reconstruct the website? -
Hello and welcome to WordPress.com
Your right as .com and .org are two different platform. With WordPress.com, you can create your website easily without having to worry about coding. It’s made simple by using the Editor Block to insert your content.
By choosing a theme you like, you are then able to customize it the way you want. You can try to create your website on the free plan and once you’re ready, you can then upgrade it to use more features such as plugins, uploading custom themes and many more.
