Paul Mitchell the School, Salt Lake

At Paul Mitchell Schools, we believe that the learning process should be fun and everyone’s education should be special. That's why we base our courses and teaching methods on Multiple Intelligence, the learning research pioneered by Howard Gardner at Harvard University.

We All Have Multiple Intelligences

The theory of Multiple Intelligence takes into account the unique talents and ways of knowing that we each possess. There are seven different intelligences, or ways that people process information. Most schools and traditional learning deal only with verbal linguistic (reading and writing) but we all have other intelligence: multiple intelligences. It is exciting and rewarding to identify our other natural intelligences, such as musical, math logical, body kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and spatial intelligence.

Unlike standard achievement tests that look at what we know, Multiple Intelligence looks at how we know. It starts with an assessment index that identifies each Future Professional’s unique learning strengths. There are no right or wrong answers, only individual indications of learning talents. After Future Professionals complete the online quiz, they receive a "talent key" that outlines their dominant strengths (intelligences). By providing them with the talent key, we show students how they may best approach learning within our schools. Our Learning Leaders use the talent key to customize a curriculum and offer targeted instruction.

No Learner Is Left Behind

Once their intelligence has been determined, Future Professionals have the information to make directional changes in their lives. The dominant intelligences listed on their personalized printout define the methods they most often use to process information and solve problems. These domains are their processing strengths and personal traits. Knowing their dominant domains assists them in choosing an environment for working and learning that accommodates their intelligences. Research has proven that it is essential for people to learn in an environment that complements their dominant domains for maximum career opportunities to occur. Customized curriculum addresses each Future Professional’s unique way of learning in this current and proven method.

As a result of a Paul Mitchell Schools Multiple Intelligence education, Future Professionals gain knowledge and insight into how they individually learn and process information. With Multiple Intelligence, no learner is left behind.
