Summer Session For Visiting College Students
You are eligible if you graduated from high school and are either a current college student or have taken college courses since 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 don’t 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’ll immerse yourself
in an entirely new living and learning experience, joining a college
community unlike any other you’ve ever experienced:
- Study alongside other bright and talented students who learn
in an entirely different way — 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.
- 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 an 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
