Dear current and future members of the Landmark College community:

Welcome to Landmark College! If you’re visiting this page, you probably already know Landmark College’s reputation as the best option for students who learn differently. I won’t enumerate all the ways in which LC has transformed the way students learn, educators teach, and the public thinks about education, but I will urge you to look at some of the programmatic options that might fit your educational needs.

I also encourage you to talk with our Admissions staff to learn how the LC Value can make LC the most affordable and smartest choice for neurodiverse individuals.

Of course, the best way to experience Landmark College is with your own eyes and ears, through a campus visit. Come to beautiful Putney, Vermont, and find out for yourself how LC lives it mission!

Sincerely,

Jim Dlugos, Ph.D.
Landmark College President
