Morphology
The meaning 'a school where students study the visual arts' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'art' (visual/creative practice) with 'school' (an educational institution). This modifier+head compound follows a common and predictable noun-noun composition found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The compound noun art school is a literal name: a school for art, where students learn painting, sculpture, and design. So, art school means 'a place where people learn art'.
