Students at Abaarso School undergo a rigorous 30-hours-per-week schedule mainly focused on mathematics, English, and logical thinking.

[4] The campus includes a school building, 39 staff boarding units, separate boys' and girls' dormitories, mosque, cafeteria, computer and chemistry laboratories, training center, a large library containing 30,000 books, football field, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, girls' sports compound with a basketball court and soccer field, and multiple guard towers.

[5] Students are assigned work-times, with the aim of creating a sense of responsibility in maintaining the school environment.

These assignments are student-led, such as Operation Green, a group tasked with cultivating and managing the school gardens.

These comprise computer programming, chess, science, health, public speaking, debate, creative writing, improv and drama.

Four days a week, tutors from Abaarso go to the Hargeisa Orphanage Center to teach orphans (ranging from 5-year-olds to 19-year-olds) a series of math, English, and logic classes designed to augment the courses offered by the local schools.

Since the program's start, Abaarso School has given full scholarships to nine students directly from the Hargeisa Orphanage.
