The school is owned by the Amal chain and the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality, and is located in Neve Ofer neighborhood in the city's south.
The topographic height differences are about 5 meters from the north-eastern corner to the south-western corner.
The building is constructed in an H-shape, divided into two classroom sections on the north and south sides, with a management area and special classes in to center.
Planning was established based on modern educational practices of large public areas with learning spaces outside of classes. Adjacent to every class is an office for the teacher.
Students will enter through the entrance hall that overlooks main lobby and library on the lower level, opening to the main garden. More on the lower level are a cinema studio, dance class and entrepreneurship learning classes.
On the same level, to the left, are the teacher's room and management offices, personnel room and the auditorium. On the right is one of the classroom sections.
Between the entrance and the library is an open tribune covered in wood the is used as a schoolwide assembly area and a passage between floors. From the tribune rises an open staircase to two additional floors of classrooms and laboratories.
Due to the ratio between the size of the building and the lot, the rooftops were designed as additional gardens of a site of urban nature. The top roofs and the auditorium's roof are accessible to the students.
