Its two junior high schools and two high schools in Buenos Aires grant certificates in a broad range of subjects, including Science, Computing, Electronics, Business Administration, Media Studies and Music Production. Additionally, within the country, ORT's two technology institutes grant official diplomas in subjects ranging from Biotechnology, Food Technology, Tourism, Film and Television Production and more.

ORT Technical School in Buenas Aries has almost completed the addition of a new science and technology center to add to the existing campus.  The new building will give the school more classrooms, laboratories  and workshops, allowing it to admit more students and provide them with the most advanced up-to-date education available. The new building is scheduled to open at the start of the new school year in March 2012. Classrooms and laboratories are available for naming opportunities.
