Accelerated Learning

Based on the work of Bulgarian psychiatrist Georgi Lozanov, who developed the theory of "suggest-opedia," and Dr. Evelyna Gateva, a language educator, accelerated learning also incorporates Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory.  In 1978 the Bulgarian government put the brakes on the spread of accelerated learning by refusing to allow Lozanov to communicate with the outside world. But the model didn't completely lose momentum - and interest has accelerated tremendously since Glasnost hit Bulgaria in 1987.

The Accelerated Learning Method is based on research on how the human brain works. Each student has a preferred learning style — a way of learning that suits them best and at EECS they will be provided with a positive multi-modal, multi-sensory environment that accepts the uniqueness of each learner. Working with different learning styles and all the senses: visual, auditory, kinesthetic students at EECS will be learning, thinking, and using their creativity towards their success.
