What Istituto Comprensivo Don Orione does

Istituto Comprensivo Statale Don Orione is a public Italian comprehensive school (istituto comprensivo statale) headquartered at Via Fabriano 4 in the Affori district of northern Milan, founded on September 1, 2000. It operates four schools under one institutional umbrella — Scuola dell'Infanzia Iseo, Scuola Primaria Don Orione, Scuola Primaria F. Caracciolo, and Scuola Secondaria di I Grado Leonardo da Vinci — delivering K-12 public education to approximately 1,064 students ages 3-14 across the surrounding neighborhood. The institute operates under the Italian Ministry of Education (Ministero dell'Istruzione e del Merito) and the Ufficio Scolastico Regionale per la Lombardia, and is recognized as a Comune di Milano "Scuola Aperta" for 2021-22 and 2022-23.

The school's core digital infrastructure consists of a WordPress-based institutional website developed by Easyteam.org SRL under GPL 3.0, the Axioscloud Registro Elettronico (electronic register for teachers and families), a Scuola Digitale platform, a Sportello Digitale administrative portal, Google Workspace for Schools, and a Progressive Web App launched in November 2022 for Android and iOS with offline access and push notifications. Core services include online enrollment (Iscrizioni On Line), Pago in Rete payments via PAgoPA, SPID-based authentication, and an Accesso Civico transparency portal. All services are AGID-accessible and GDPR-compliant. The school participates in PON FSE/FESR and PNRR (Next Generation EU) programs for digital modernization and inclusive education for students with disabilities (BES) and foreign students.

The institution is entirely publicly funded by the Italian state through MIUR; education is free for all enrolled families with no tuition fees. The reported headcount of 7 employees reflects administrative and leadership staff, as teachers are state employees assigned by MIUR rather than direct hires. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the national MIUR online enrollment system and on-site enrollment at school premises, supplemented by Open Days, social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), a PWA app, and a newsletter. Customer segments are families with school-age children in the Affori catchment area, students ages 3-14, and the school's teaching and administrative staff. Key partnerships include the Comune di Milano for after-school services (prescuola and giochi serali), Easyteam.org SRL for technology, and minor collaborations with Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori and the Generazioni Connesse project.
