What Is Applied Scholastics?
Applied Scholastics is a nonprofit, public benefit corporation dedicated to improving education with L. Ron Hubbard’s learning and literacy tools, collectively known as Study Technology. Originally developed for use in Scientology course rooms through the 1960s, Study Technology has since become a worldwide phenomenon for the fact it routinely raises reading and comprehension levels.
For the organization’s first three decades, the proliferation of Study Technology into schools and universities was largely a grassroots effort initiated by educators under the Applied Scholastics banner. Although still grassroots, the scope dramatically increased with the acquisition and establishment of the Applied Scholastics International training campus at Spanish Lake, near St. Louis, Missouri. Since opening, it has revolutionized entire academic sectors by presenting Study Technology through comprehensive training programs to top educators. Those educators, in turn, have now introduced the Technology into some 3,200 schools, centers and groups across whole districts. Meanwhile, Applied Scholastics tutoring and remedial groups provide the Technology to disadvantaged or slow students. In this way, Applied Scholastics has brought L. Ron Hubbard’s gift of learning and literacy to over 69 million students across some 73 nations.
