Soon after L. Ron Hubbard released his lectures on Study Technology in the 1960s, it was in use in all Scientology churches and missions. School teachers who studied it began using it in their classes and reported great improvement in learning ability among their students. In 1971, the first educational organisation specialising in the use of Study Technology was formed by a Scientologist teacher.

The expansion of Applied Scholastics International network has been such that in order to meet the growing demand for services, Applied Scholastics established new headquarters and the first university of Study Technology in the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Teachers, educators and trainers from around the world come to partake in the Study Technology training programmes offered there.

Applied Scholastics was founded the following year as a public benefit, nonprofit and non-religious organisation to work with governments and schools worldwide.
Churches of Scientology and their members support and sponsor Applied Scholastics in recognition of its proven results and its potential to improve life for the students of today and tomorrow.
