What IIS Einaudi Ferrara does

I.I.S. Luigi Einaudi (commonly referenced as IIS Einaudi Ferrara) is a public Italian upper secondary school (Istituto di Istruzione Superiore) operating under the Italian Ministry of Education (MIM, formerly MIUR) and located at Via Savonarola 32, Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, with a branch at Via Cisterna del Follo 6. The institute operates two parallel tracks: an Istituto Tecnico (Technical Institute) offering a five-year Graphics and Communication program and a new four-year 'Communication Design International School' path; and an Istituto Professionale (Professional Institute) offering Servizi Commerciali (Marketing & e-Commerce, Tourism, Banking & Management, Design & Graphics), Servizi Culturali e dello Spettacolo (with C.R.E.F. specialization in Cinema, Radio, Events, Photo), and Servizi per la Sanità (Child Care & Psychology, Wellness, Sports & Inclusion). Its served population is secondary-school students aged 14-19 and their families in the Ferrara catchment area, with no tuition charged.

The technology stack is built on Google Workspace for Education, the Spaggiari Parma electronic register (PrimaVisioneWeb CMS), the national MIM online enrollment portal, Pago in Rete for fee payments, ProntoMAD for substitute-teacher management, and Scuola in Chiaro for institutional transparency. Extracurricular assets include the StudenTG student television project, the 'Fare Radio a Scuola' school radio initiative (since 2018/2019), and the annual 'ApertaMente: l'Officina del Sapere' community lecture series running 12 consecutive years. The institute partners with ITS Academy Adriano Olivetti via the 'Filiera 4+2' post-diploma ICT pathway, participates in PNRR-funded projects, and offers ICDL computer certification.

The business model is non-commercial: the institution is funded entirely by national and provincial education allocations, with all educational services provided free of charge to students. Textbooks are procured directly by families from published book lists. No private equity, venture, or commercial ownership applies. Strategic activities include a 'Regolamento IA' governance document and participation in the ITS 4.0 project involving generative AI tools and an administrative AI chatbot prototype, alongside a student 'Cooperativa E-Design3' launched in the 2025-2026 academic year.
