NEW SCHOLARSHIP
STEM Fully Funded Scholarship for Female Students
We are offering a full-tuition scholarship aimed to counter gender disparity in STEM. The scholarship is open to girls aged 10-14 who express interest in STEM subjects.
The STEM scholarship is available for incoming new students willing and able to start studying at Le Sallay Discovery in the 2022 - 2023 academic year (immediately or after January 1, 2022) as well as the 2023 - 2024 academic year.


STEM at Le Sallay Discovery
Le Sallay Discovery is an international middle school operating on a blended learning model combining sessions of in-person learning at campuses in the USA and France with periods of on-line studies. 
  • Focused Curriculum
    Le Sallay offers a strong curriculum in all subject areas, but maintains a focus on math and science. Our approach to teaching mathematics and sciences is based on interdisciplinarity and the permanent cross-over between different areas of knowledge.

    STEM courses include

    • Science (astronomy, physics, geology, geography, biology, chemistry)
    The Science curriculum is designed to teach the complex relationship between different phenomena and the different areas of human knowledge. Students delve deeper into specific individual subjects – physics, biology and chemistry – and reach the level needed for admission to a high school that has advanced courses in the relevant subject area.

    • Math (primary and advanced)

    Recurring units include algebra, geometry, combinatorics, probability, logic and statistics. We include problems and topics that are traditionally thought to be too advanced for middle-schoolers, but in our experience, students appreciate being challenged. Our math curriculum focuses on building students' motivation and problem-solving skills. We encourage students to think through concepts and apply them in new ways from the very start. Since they can’t rely on simple replication, students are pushed to greater engagement and broader thinking.

  • Integrated Methodology
    Our approach integrates innovative STEM teaching solutions.


    • We incorporate the principles of Singapore math -- a highly effective teaching approach based on research of math mastery in Singapore, which consistently ranks at the top in international math testing.

    • Sallay Discovery is working in partnership with Art of Problem Solving - the leading provider of online math courses and is offering age-appropriate AoPS courses as part of the curriculum.

  • Individual Approach
    An individual learning pathway is created for each student, enabling them to proceed from their current knowledge level, creating a comfortable learning environment. Students that show noticeable progress are given specialized assignments that challenge them at a different level. The flexible approach allows these students to proceed at a faster pace and to move on to the next level when they are ready, instead of waiting for their peers to reach the same level of knowledge.
