L. Ron Hubbard was an American writer and philosopher who became interested in education
as a young man teaching English in a native school in Guam during the 1920s.
Over the next forty years, Mr. Hubbard continued his research into education, and
by the early 1960's, he saw fully that declining educational standards were having
a profound effect on the learning abilities of people from all walks of life. His
investigation of this decline, and research regarding the basic laws of education
led to a revolutionary development in the field—a technology of study. His lectures
on this work were recorded and formed the basis for a whole approach to teaching
and learning.
In an article written in 1950, Mr. Hubbard said:
"An educational program which begins with the child's parents, progresses through
kindergarten and grade school, through high school and into college and preserves
at every step the individuality, the native ambitions, intelligence, abilities and
dynamics of the individual, is the best bastion against not only mediocrity but
any and all enemies of mankind."
Delphi Schools, Inc. owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Hubbard, whose extensive writings
on education have guided our work in education and provide fundamental guidelines
and policy for the schools in their approach to teaching, learning and administration.
