It is affiliated with the international La Salle network of 150 establishments in France and 1,000 globally. The overall direction is coordinated by Thomas Marlat, Chef d'établissement coordinateur.

The institution's product portfolio spans a complete educational pathway. At the secondary level it offers general, technological, and professional baccalaureates with 2024 pass rates of 91.13% (general), 84.20% (STI2D), 65.70% (STL), and 51.60% (STMG); DNB pass rates run 98–100% with up to 66% of mentions being très bien.

Tangible assets include 500m² of laboratories, 50 computer stations, 1,500+ reference volumes in the preparatory class library, gymnasium, and climbing wall.

The revenue model is subscription-based, primarily tuition fees paid by families and supplemented by boarding fees (€3,012–€5,619 annually per boarder) and ancillary evening study fees (€5.25/session). The school operates under contract with the French state, which provides partial funding for teacher salaries, while families cover operating costs. No external funding rounds, equity investors, or acquisitions are disclosed. Distribution is direct via on-campus enrollment, the Ecole Directe platform, and open house events; the institution markets through its website, social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, SoundCloud, Facebook), the La Salle network brand, and earned media including coverage of French Senate President Gérard Larcher's attendance at the 2025 DNB ceremony.
