Greenfields

The first Applied Scholastics school in the United Kingdom, Greenfields School, was founded in 1981 as a day and boarding school. Since then another 23 tutoring centres have been established.

In 1981 a Scientologist English teacher, inspired by her own use of Study Technology as a teacher, founded the first Applied Scholastics school in England, Greenfields School. A day and boarding school located on 11 acres of woodland in the Ashdown Forest, near East Grinstead, Greenfields teaches students from preschool to university entrance levels. After a thorough grounding in Study Technology, they receive a traditional English education. The school has attracted educators such as Professor Brian Holmes of the Department of Alternative Education, London University, who wrote, “You are making a success of education in a way I have never seen before.”

Since then another 23 tutoring centres have been established throughout the country, with still others now in operation in Scotland.

“It is my honour to recommend the programme and staff of Applied Scholastics. I know the programme. The programme gave important knowledge to the students.... The programme has many international recognitions and their humanitarian world view and technology are having a positive effect. “They are very dedicated and well-trained teachers....” — Dr. L.T., Professor of Public Education Miskolc University, Hungary

The Learning How to Learn Centre, founded in Budapest in 1997, established an inner-city programme to help disadvantaged and Gypsy children and adults. The main objective of the programme was to help the students catch up in their studies, clear up past areas of confusion and raise their moral values. At the start of the programme, each student was tested and interviewed to find out their attitude toward study and to isolate the problems they were having in school. The students received help in clearing up their most problematic areas, and they learned Study Technology. At the end of the two-week programme, students' IQs improved a remarkable average of 10 to 12 points.
