Academics
Landmark College is a collaborative and rigorous educational community, fully committed to serving students who learn differently.
Everyone learns differently. But, for many bright, talented students with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or executive function (EF) challenges, the mainstream educational system presents undue obstacles.
Landmark College is a community designed exclusively for these students. Our strengths-based approach gives them the skills and strategies they need to succeed in class and in life.
Our programs are fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and our curriculum is as rigorous as other institutions of higher learning. But at Landmark College, the experience is crafted specifically for our unique learners, informed by over three decades of applied wisdom in designing programs and pedagogy for students who learn differently.
We believe every learner can succeed, and testify to that belief everyday.
Our Core Values
Teaching and Learning
- We value students’ wholeness, humanity, and resourcefulness.
- We embrace students’ strengths.
- We welcome students as partners in learning.
Academic Rigor
- We hold high expectations, both for ourselves and for our students.
- We challenge students to develop and employ critical thinking.
- We support students in reaching their greatest academic potential.
Academic Support
- We prepare students to meet high academic expectations.
- We work closely with students, both in the classroom and individually.
- We help students to develop a personal toolkit of skills and strategies for learning.
Our Pledge
- We demystify the learning process and make instruction both explicit and recursive.
- We help students develop self-understanding and self-efficacy by encouraging the development of individualized strategies that support student learning.
- We 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.
We constantly develop innovative and student-centered best practices in education for neurodivergent learners—and share them with educators around the world—through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT)
The Instructional Experience
At Landmark College, we individualize instruction within a range of disciplinary courses and programs.
The overall student to faculty/support ratio is 6:1 and small classes (generally 6-15 students) provide opportunities for individual attention while still engaging students in a collaborative learning experience.
Every Landmark College class focuses on optimizing student learning, with mechanisms for academic support through office hours, experienced academic advisors, and dedicated support centers with professional staff.

Working together, we help students discover their path as confident, empowered, and independent learners.

Research & Training
Our team members’ commitment to fostering inclusive learning environments aligns seamlessly with the mission of the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT).
The Institute was established in 2001 to pioneer learning disability research, discover innovative strategies and practices, and improve teaching and learning outcomes for students with learning disabilities (like dyslexia), ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges, as well as educators in high school and college settings.
Currently, the Institute staff shares this information with education professionals through webinars, online certificate courses, on-site and online workshops, and our signature Summer Institute for educators, among other activities.
