British Institute For Learning Development

IN 2002 Dr Christopher Reynolds and Sheena Reynolds established a learning development programme in the UAE that was to become the British Institute for Learning Development. The British Institute is unique for its philosophy of learning development as the basis for education and is the first and only schooling programme of its kind in the Middle East. As a Talented Children Development Centre, the British Institute is able to develop children's 'talents' by increasing their cognitive development to increase their learning capacity and intelligence. The British Institute asserts that learning is implicitly a neurological function and the capacity to learn is dependent upon neurological efficiency. The British Institute's Sensational Learning Programme is based on the belief that children's learning capabilities and performance can improve where children receive personal coaching to first develop the foundation sensory systems of the mind and body. The British Institute's two year study from 2006-08 of the neuro-physiological development of children showed that sensory integration therapy can increase learning capacity and intelligence. The British Institute represents St Andrews College International in the UAE and offer both a school programme as well as an after-school programme for children from other schools.
