Study Technology

Study Technology is both a learning and a teaching method which develops a truly self-sufficient and self-motivated student with the tools to learn anything, easily and comfortably.

American writer and educator L. Ron Hubbard recognized the pitfalls of study and identified basic barriers that prevent a student from understanding. To overcome these barriers and ensure a student could truly put his or her education to use, he developed a precise and simple set of tools he called Study Technology. With them, a student learns to recognize the signs of study difficulty and, most importantly, what to do about them.

The basic concepts of Study Technology have been incorporated throughout the Delphi curriculum, in the arrangement of the classroom, the role of the teacher and the attention given to students. Using this approach, a Delphi student becomes a confident and enthusiastic independent learner.

Delphi Academy is licensed to use Applied Scholastics™ educational services and materials, which are based on the works of Mr. Hubbard.

Study Technology is setting up my son to become a success at whatever profession he ultimately decides to pursue. More importantly, he’s learning how to apply what he learns to life, instead of simply for an exam.”

I recently completed an Initial WASC visit to Delphi Academy of Los Angeles. Nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Angeles National Forest, Delphi has been empowering students since 1984 with a clear mission: to help students improve the condition of their lives and communities through knowledge, reason, creativity, and integrity.

What stood out during my visit:

Proficiency-Based Learning: Students advance by demonstrating true understanding rather than simply completing grade levels. Each learner progresses at their ideal pace—a refreshing approach to individualized education.

Meaningful Relationships: With small class sizes every student receives genuine one-on-one attention from teachers who truly care about their success.

Study Technology: The school equips students with practical tools to overcome learning barriers, helping them develop deep comprehension skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Real-World Application: The curriculum ensures students don’t just memorize—they can meaningfully apply what they’ve learned.

During stakeholder interviews, the consistent theme was personalized attention and care. Parents praised the in-depth conferences that provide clear insights into their child’s progress, while students appreciated developing genuine understanding rather than surface-level knowledge.

Particularly impressive was that over 50% of current students are second-generation Delphi learners—a powerful testament to the lasting impact of their educational approach.

Thank you to Cindy Gainsforth and the team at Delphi!
