  الْمَدْرَسَةِ — the school. A definite noun ('the school') that, together with the adjective after it, forms the proper name of an institution. It is governed by the preceding 'in' and sits in the genitive. The noun-plus-adjective naming pattern is how Arabic builds 'the such-and-such school' as a single title.
