Summer Session for Visiting College Students
This program is for students who graduated from high school and are either a current college student or have taken college courses since high school graduation.
35 Days to a New Way of Learning
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 do not show it? Do you find yourself falling further and further behind?
Our summer program features morning and afternoon classes along with plenty of opportunities for fun activities, sports, recreation and exploration of Vermont's beautiful countryside. You will immerse yourself in an entirely new living and learning experience, joining a college community unlike any other you have ever experienced:
- Study with other bright and talented students who also learn in different ways — visiting students from a variety of colleges and universities around the country as well as Landmark College's own students who will share their experiences and learning strategies as fellow classmates in credit courses
- Learn from professors who truly understand the challenges and frustrations you encounter in the classroom — and who can help you discover new learning strategies to succeed
- Gain in-depth understanding of your learning differences and personal learning style
- Learn to advocate for your needs as a learner
- Build your reading, comprehension, writing and executive function skills so you can return to school next fall with the skills you need to succeed
