Irony Alef high school of arts

Ayala's school
The school I'm learning in is called Irony Alef high school of arts. The school starts at the 7th grade until you graduate, 12th grade. The school is special because it includes art in your studying and you can choose to pass the final tests in the domain you chose. The possibilities are: dance, cinema, theater, music and visual arts. The school is placed quite in the middle of Tel Aviv near art centers for each of the proposed domain, so parts of the art lessons aren’t teach in the school but in those centers.
