"La clase es dentro del colegio" is correct, as long as you take it as the lesson being held there, not the classroom.

- La exposición es en la galería. -> You'd say "está" if you refer to the physical amount of pieces of art being exhibited, but if you take it as the act of the artist showing their work, then we use "es".
- El taller es en el edificio nuevo. -> "Taller" may refer to a learning activity, but if it means the place where something can be repaired, then you say "está".


Side note: if you're talking about a city, saying "dentro de" is rather unusual, unless you want to emphasize that the place is completely "engulfed" in the city. We prefer "en" most of the time.

- El colegio está en Reno.
- Los mejores teatros están en la Ciudad de México. -> We don't need to say they're inside the city, because that's already well understood.
- El parque está dentro de la ciudad. -> We emphasize it's not in the outskirts of the city.
