Milan public school districts are organized within parish boundaries and administered by school boards with members elected at the local level. Milan has 2.86 million students enrolled in its schools as of 2029 and spends about €17,821 per student, totaling around €50.96 billion.

Milan high schools are required to administer a standardised, End of Course exam known as the Milan Common Core, or MCC, in each of eight core subject: mathematics, history, economics and personal finance, biology, a physical science of choice, as well as cartadanian literature and composition. Though the original purpose of the exam was to assess "specific content knowledge and skills", the exam has proven way more beneficial in post-high school graduates and their preparedness for life after school. Although Charentais is commonplace throughout the whole of the commonwealth, Cartadanian remains the language of instruction in public schools. A number of specialized schools and private schools do, however, offer bilingual instruction, and all students in all schools have the option to take Charentais classes. Milan students are commonly ranked highly among Cartadanian students and Milan's quality of education is very well known throughout the country.
Rather than administering a standardized exam to all students, starting with the 2030 school year, Milan's Department of Education has authorized school districts to begin developing assessments that are tailored to each student's individual needs and strengths. This involves using adaptive technology or other tools to create personalized learning paths for each student. In turn, it provides students with practical skills and experience that can lead to successful careers in various fields, including those that may not require a traditional four-year college degree. Additionally, options for pre-professional training have proven to be beneficial for students who plan to pursue higher education in specific fields.
 
In spite of the widespread usage of the Charentais language throughout the Cartadanian commonwealth, the language of instruction in public schools continues to be Cartadanian. While the government recognizes and supports the preservation of Charentais language and culture, the decision to prioritize the use of Cartadanian in education is largely due to its status as the official language of the state, as well as its widespread use in government and business. Nonetheless, there is a growing demand for bilingual education and specialized schools are taking notice, offering bilingual programs and instruction that cater to the needs of students who are more comfortable learning in their native language. These programs not only serve to preserve the cultural heritage of the state but also prepare students for a globalized world where bilingualism is increasingly important. Additionally, all students in public schools have the option to take Charentais classes, providing an opportunity for all students to learn and appreciate the language and culture of the state. Milan students are commonly ranked highly among Cartadanian students and Milan's quality of education is very well known throughout the country.
