What Makes Greenfields Unique? (Part 1)

29 Nov 2017

The use of Study Technology is what makes Greenfields so different. In the United Kingdom, it is, at this writing, the only school that uses it – though around the world it is used by hundreds of schools to the benefit of students now numbering in the millions. Applied standardly, Study Technology produces remarkable improvements in a student’s ability which is reflected in the results he or she obtains.
