Our Philosophy

We Do Things Differently Here

The reality is that everyone learns differently. But, for many bright and talented students with AD/HD, dyslexia and learning disabilities, the mainstream educational system often is unable to meet their needs.

Landmark College studentsAt Landmark College, we have created a unique learning environment that actively promotes individual success among students who learn differently. We help students learn in new ways, enabling them to become independent, self-directed learners and self-advocates.

While many colleges and universities now offer academic support programs for students who learn differently, none compare to Landmark's comprehensive mission and integrated curriculum. We're also are the recognized leader in serving the unique needs of students with attention deficit disorders through our curriculum, assistive technology and executive function coaching.

Our programs are fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and our curriculum is as rigorous as any other institution of higher learning. We have a proven record of success in preparing Landmark graduates to transfer into baccalaureate degree programs at colleges of their choice.

How do we do this?

At Landmark, we:

  • Help students develop self-understanding by demystifying their own approach to learning and developing proven strategies at address their personal learning differences.
  • Provide students with the support they need in and out of the classroom. At Landmark, there's no need to "fight the system" or ask for special accommodations. We show students how to become effective self-advocates and use supporting resources effectively
  • Constantly develop innovative and student-centered best practices in learning disability and AD/HD education — and share them with other educators — through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT).

Offer a highly supportive, intensive, team approach to learning. Key to Landmark's success is our 5:1 student-to-faculty ratio — one of the lowest in the country.
