The “Learning in Depth” program is a simple but radical innovation, which was first implemented in Canada in 2008/2009 and is now being used in a dozen countries with many thousand students. The purpose of the program is to ensure that every student becomes an expert on something during schooling.

The program raises a number of profound educational issues and offers itself as a stimulating addition to courses which focus on practical educational programs and assessment of their success and also to courses and programs that wish to raise a wide range of important educational issues vividly.
