As well as providing a world-class distance learning program, Le Sallay will also host a three-week learning camp at the beginning and end of each term in a 16th-century French château where the students will get to meet their classmates and soak up European culture and history. Altogether a third of the education takes place in study camps while two-thirds is conducted through distance learning." In 2020, Le Sallay Dialogue, a branch school in Russia, was launched.
