School Description
Provided by Landmark CollegeLandmark College’s mission is to transform the way students learn, educators teach and the public thinks about education. We provide highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and to achieve their greatest potential. Through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, the College aims to extend its mission across the nation and throughout the world.
While many colleges offer special programs for students with learning difficulties, Landmark College is one of the only accredited colleges in the United States designed exclusively for students with dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), or other specific learning disabilities.
Why does Landmark's approach succeed? Because we take a different path. We teach the skills and strategies necessary for success in college and the workforce. Here at Landmark, you learn how to learn, and this knowledge helps you become more confident and independent.
Students at Landmark get far more personal, directed assistance than at other colleges. Each student receives individualized attention from classroom instructors — in courses tailored to meet your educational needs. We have courses for skills development, college credit, and an Associate Degree Program for individuals who have average — to superior — intellectual potential. Our experienced advisors meet frequently with you to review and guide your progress. All instructors are trained professional educators, not teaching assistants or peer tutors.
Your time at Landmark College is a time of exploration and learning. A time for you to discover your own personal strengths and abilities. A time for you to grow into your full potential.
It's also a time to make friends, discover talents, and explore interests. The College offers you a wide variety of sports and social activities, both on our beautiful wooded campus and in the surrounding community.
Landmark College is located in southeastern Vermont. In summer and spring, you can hike, run, mountain bike and swim. In winter, students find an atmosphere perfect for downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and winter camping. For those who prefer something more urban, Boston is 2-1/2 hours away by car and New York City is only 4-1/2 hours.
In addition to athletics, activities, and all the off-campus resources of beautiful New England, an important aspect of student life at Landmark College is life in the residence halls. If you choose to live on campus, along with social and educational programs, you'll develop a strong sense of community. There's a true commitment to learning — inside and outside of the classroom. Student development professionals also live in each residence hall.
Students at Landmark College learn how to balance academics and social lives. They learn to access the tools they need for success in college, graduate school, and the workforce in the real world. And you can join them.

Question: Have you ever met a person with a learning disability? What was it like?I'm planning to enroll in a private college that will cost me an arm and a leg but I think in the long run, it's worth it. First off, I have Dyslexia and a hint of ADD. I am not at all slow in thought just have trouble understanding written and spoken words. However, my analytical and logical skill is above average. I am applying to Landmark College in Vermont. They specialized in teaching people with learning disability. Since we all are getting too Politically Correct, I don't know if a learning disability is in the form of Dyslexia or do it blanket to cover the mentally slow as well.36 months ago
Best AnswerI also have Dyslexia with Dysgraphia and ADHD. All are considered learning disabilities. You can go to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for more information or just put Dyslexia in a search engine to look at more information. Dr. Sally Shaywitz is doing alot in research. The mentaly slow is usually refered to the retarded. FYI: Dyslexics have average to above average IQs. |
