Testimonials

Bel-Ridge was recognized as a ‘Gold Star’ school for 2004-2005 and a recipient of the 2006 Monsanto School of Excellence Award. Part of the school’s success blooms from its dedication and implementation of the Applied Scholastics Achievement Program. Applying materials and the learning how to learn process of the ASAP program, was an invaluable component and one that
i believe set or school apart from others.

Students participating in this program demonstrate a genuine interest in learning; their behavior has improved overall, not just in a reduction of disciplinary actions, which has also occurred, but in attitude, self-confidence and improved attendance. Most importantly, their academic achievements have greatly increased and each and every one of them went into the state testing week confident and motivated.

What impressed me about Mr. Hubbard’s ‘Study Technology’, which is the foundation for Applied Scholastics Achievement Program, is that his educational tenets and procedures parallel what i have found from my own independent researches to be the natural laws of learning. Its procedures engage the whole child in the learning process itself by making students aware of the barriers or obstacles that they face when trying ot learn; further, they empower the student to think, which is the essential product of education.
