The learning process in the major takes place gradually. In the first school year, in 7th grade, the focus is on creative writing. Students practice writing as a tool for cinematic expression, experiment with still photography, and work with animation. The methodological approach is like playing with the various tools in the sandbox—an intuitive and individual game, yet attentive to the surroundings. In 8th grade, students begin to learn video shooting, use digital tools, and refine their cinematic language skills. They develop the ability to analyze and delve deeper into complex cinematic expressions. In 9th grade, students start learning the art of editing. They are introduced to basic editing software and are also exposed to animation editing programs. Throughout the three years in the middle school, students write, shoot, and edit films of their own making.

When transitioning to high school, cinematic learning and creation are based on exercises and projects, aimed at higher education in the art of cinema. The belief is that in order to embark on exciting and creative journeys—and create films—it is essential to fully understand cinematic language in all its layers. The curriculum in cinematic arts spans a wide range of fields: screenwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, sound recording and editing, lighting, production, animation, and a deep exploration of cinematic theories and film history. Students write viewing diaries, where they work to decode and discover cinematic language in all its aspects—starting with an understanding of the movements and trends shaping cinematic syntax, through the history of cinema and the psychology of visual perception as a tool for analysis, to decoding genres, writing processes, editing, cinematography, directing, and production.

In these years, cinematic expression and film history are studied in-depth, with an emphasis on key milestones in global cinema, Israeli cinema, documentary film, docu-activism, diverse genres, contemporary postmodern cinema, social cinema, feminist cinema, and gender and cinema studies. In the production of their cinematic exercises, students receive close guidance from the teaching staff, from idea writing to script creation, shooting scripts, production processes, filming, and editing the exercises. Students are required to integrate and apply the expression tools they have learned into a cohesive creation. They work in teams and are committed to their role and their group. The exercises are presented in a respectable forum of students and teachers. After the screening of the exercises, a discussion takes place on each one, including feedback from the teachers and the students themselves. From year to year, students refine their cinematic language, and they are required to dive deeper into their work.
