Improve Your Academic Skills And Your Confidence
- Are you a bright and talented college student with a learning disability and/or AD/HD?
- Do you study and work hard — but your grades don’t show it?
- Do you find yourself falling further and further behind?
- Through Landmark’s summer program, you can build your reading, comprehension, writing and executive function skills.
- And earn college credits that you can transfer to another college.
This five-week summer session features morning and afternoon classes each weekday and opportunities for outings and athletics. Your classmates will include other bright students from a variety of colleges around the country and Landmark College’s own students. Our students will share with you their own experiences and learning strategies. You will also have an advisor who works closely with you to make the most out of your time at Landmark and who will help you transition out of the program effectively.
