Applied Scholastics licenses close to
250 tutoring and community mentoring programs throughout the
United States and in many other countries. Literally, hundreds
of tutors work daily with children to help them overcome the
barriers to learning and thereby open the road to successful
and satisfying adulthood.
Two of these programs are especially deserving of note, for
while still closely tied to the communities in which they began,
they have also established networks of centers across the globe.

“This is not
just another ‘do good’ project. It works. L.
Ron Hubbard's
methods can uncover the barriers to study and learning
and clean up miseducation that precipitates unemployment,
drugs, violence and crime.”
Isaac Hayes
Award Winning composer and musician
“I want to let you know how thankful I am that the
Applied Scholastics Literacy Program came along for me
when it did. My ability to read was bad—about second
grade level.  I
was not able to use the letters to sound out the words.
“I was on skid row for 6-7 years, for 2 years with
my little baby. We and the baby’s mother were on
the street, just living.
“I could do everything else in life — drugs,
drinking. Now I can do the things I’m supposed to
be doing. I have my own apartment with my daughter, we
are not on skid row. She is now 4 years old and is in
the top of her pre-school class. We help each other learn!”
