What is Applied Scholastics?
The story of Applied Scholastics is the story of the educators, parents, community leaders and volunteers who have cared enough about the condition of education to actually "do something about it." Applied Scholastics was formed by five educators who found that the educational technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard worked well in their classrooms and could be easily learned and applied by others. Study Technology, as it came to be known, became the basis of success for all Applied Scholastics educational programs. The organization obtained its non-profit status in 1972. Applied Scholastics provided consultancy and materials to centers and schools wishing to implement Study Technology in various educational programs. By the end of the 1970's there were 34 Applied Scholastics affiliated groups and schools in the United States, Great Britain, Africa, Europe, Australia, Mexico and Canada. The decade of the 1980's was a period of rapid expansion. Applied Scholastics representatives trained hundreds of teacher trainers in the People's Republic of China. In Southern Africa, Study Technology seminars and courses for teachers and black children reached over one million people. In the 1990's Applied Scholastics continued to expand in size and scope. 1992 saw the 20th anniversary of Applied Scholastics, with top celebrities joining in to further spread the news of its achievements and aims. The Applied Scholastics World Literacy Crusade, a community-based education program, began in 1992 after the civil unrest in Los Angeles. It has grown from the initial project in Compton to twenty projects in inner cities as well as programs in rural areas including Ada in Ghana, bringing basic skills, job preparedness and self-worth to hundreds of inner-city youth and adults. In October 1993 Applied Scholastics was granted the right to offer tax-exempt status to its licensees in the United States under group exemption policies of the IRS. Today there are over 500 Applied Scholastics groups, schools and business training consultants around the world. Recently Applied Scholastics established a campus training center at its international
headquarters that is providing services to educators of all stripes – college professors,
teaches, parents, community-based organizations, home schoolers and business trainers –
as well as students themselves. Applied Scholastics continues to uphold the tradition of
effective response to the educational challenges of the day. |
