What is Applied Scholastics?
Applied Scholastics International is a non-profit, public benefit corporation which has the purpose of improving education worldwide by providing Mr. Hubbard’s breakthrough study technology to educators, governments, vocational trainers, community groups, parents and students, giving them the learning tools they need to achieve a world free of illiteracy, where individuals know how to learn and can achieve their chosen goals.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Applied Scholastics has affiliated offices in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Commonwealth of Independent States, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. To date, more than 3 million people have participated in Applied Scholastics
programs throughout the world. And Mr. Hubbard’s study technology is used in programs conducted by more than 250 educational organizations in 29 countries on 6 continents.
Mr. Hubbard’s study technology is an advance of gigantic significance in a world of steady educational decline where the field of education has abdicated its role to the extent that today students are not even taught how to learn. Study technology is a vast body of knowledge that not only consistently teaches people to learn how to learn, but delineates previously unknown barriers to effective study. (See “What is Study Technology?”)
Formed by a team of educators and teachers, Applied Scholastics today is international in scope, coordinating the many programs throughout the world which utilize the study technology. Many Scientology churches and their members support and sponsor Applied Scholastics in recognition of its proven results and potential to improve life for students of today and tomorrow.
Among the Applied Scholastics International affiliates throughout most of Europe, there is the Association for Effective Basic Education in Denmark; Centers of Individual and Effective Learning in Switzerland; Studema in Sweden; the Effective Education Association and Basic Education and Supplementary Teaching Association in the United Kingdom.
