The school teaches Italian language and other subjects in Italian. It is integrated into the national education system abroad and can issue diplomas legally valid in Italy.

The objective is to develop students' linguistic and communicative skills in an interdisciplinary framework and to create a network of exchanges with schools located in Italy.
Immersion in the Italian language and culture is provided through the Italian education system abroad, enabling students to engage with the local cultural environment. The program aims to develop an in-depth understanding of both Italian culture and the local context.
