Greenfields, as mentioned earlier, is the only known school that employs "study tech", a revolutionary studying technique that allows a student to not only understand the data he or she studies, but also enables them to apply it. -[[Category:Independent schools in East Sussex]] +The classes at Greenfeilds are rather downsized compared to most major public schools, to allow teachers to accurately posses the knowledge of the students progress, and to help individuals with ease, without becoming lost in a stampede of confused students. Greenfields itself is set on the beautiful outskirts of the [[Ashdown Forest]], allowing a tranquil atmosphere to be experienced. - -{{EastSussex-school-stub}} +Rumors that the school is run by [[Scientology]] is false. Although some of those who attend are followers of this religion, does not mean the entire school is. Greenfields welcomes many people from all over the globe with a mix of different religions, including Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and many more. '
