Lack of an effective education is one of the greatest barriers to success and happiness faced by our children and, for that matter, any individual. To a substantial degree, educational failings generate many of the ills we face in our societies, from intolerance and racism to drugs, poverty and economic failure.

Based on L. Ron Hubbard's extensive technology, Applied Scholastics™ programs enable individuals to handle the literacy and education of the children and people in their communities. Applied Scholastics International was founded in the USA in 1972 by educators and parents whose aim was to improve the quality and effectiveness of education around the world. Applied Scholastics International licenses and coordinates more than 500 centres, schools and tutoring organizations in many countries.
