Students complete the Esame di Maturità, the official Italian state examination, at the end of upper secondary. Results include a 100 e lode (perfect score with honors) and around 40% of students scoring between 80 and 100. The examining commission is appointed by the Italian Ministry and the tests are sent from Rome, not administered internally by the school.

Graduates may pursue higher education in either Italy or Colombia due to the dual diploma recognized in both countries. The curriculum supports international exposure through videoconferences with Italian experts, exchanges with Italian schools, and language-study trips to Ireland and Italy. Ongoing collaboration with an Italian Scientific Committee guides curriculum updates to align with both Italian and Colombian educational standards.

The school is a place of innovative education with an openness to its international identity, offering a Colombian-Italian double diploma. It places particular attention on Italy and Europe, the North American world, and Asia. It educates girls, boys, and young people with a solid, strong, structured personality, so they can be builders of the new society in their country and in the world today. It is founded on the pedagogical realism of Monseñor Luigi Giussani, a prominent Italian educator who died in 2005, whose educational movement remains present through works across five continents. It has formulated the VOLTA METHOD, whose effectiveness has positioned Volta among the best schools in Colombia for many years.
