The school serves students from primary through upper secondary education. The campus has three buildings: one houses the primary school, a second houses the lower secondary, and the third houses the upper secondary. Since the 2016/17 school year, the school offers two curricula: Liceo delle Scienze Umane Sperimentale (a four-year program) and Istituto tecnico Costruzioni, Ambiente e Territorio. From the 2024/2025 school year, a third course has been activated: Istituto tecnico Informatica e Telecomunicazioni. The three buildings hosting the three levels have been in operation at the current site since the mid-1970s and are located within a complex that also includes the Italian Institute of Culture.
Istituto Statale Italiano Omnicomprensivo di Addis Abeba is an Italian state school operating abroad that provides continuity of education from kindergarten through upper secondary within the Italian system. Established in Addis Ababa, it forms part of the Italian cultural presence in Ethiopia and shares a campus complex with the Italian Institute of Culture. Three purpose-built buildings host primary, lower and upper secondary sections, enabling coherent progression across all levels. The school implements the Italian national curriculum at all stages, with a paritarian kindergarten and curriculum features that include Italian, English and Amharic L2 for eligible students, plus broad core timetable and cross-curricular Education Civica integrated through upper secondary. In upper secondary, students may pursue tracks such as Liceo delle Scienze Umane Sperimentale and Istituto tecnico Costruzioni, Ambiente e Territorio, with Istituto tecnico Informatica e Telecomunicazioni introduced in 2024/25. Laboratories, sport facilities and specialist labs support practical study across the campus.
