LANDMARK SCHOOLWe are a school community of 460 male and female students in grades 2 through 12 located 30 miles north of Boston. Our students have dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities (LBLD). The cornerstone of the Landmark experience in our one-to-one daily tutorial combined with small class sizes, highly trained faculty, a 1:3 teacher to student ratio, robust extracurricular activities, and more. Our methods are evidence based and research informs our practices. We embrace technology to enrich the learning experience rather than as a replacement. Landmark is a unique place to work. Many say it provides a deep sense of meaning, social fulfillment, and academic and professional growth.93% of Landmark School graduates attend college, many earn masters degrees and are often working in their preferred field. Landmark students are uniquely abled, rather than disabled and their successes after their time here are evidence of this. 35% of successful entrepreneurs have a learning difference and most will tell you that although they struggled in school, they are grateful that they are out-of-the-box thinkers who see around corners and beyond obstacles.www.landmarkschool.orgThe LANDMARK SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAM provides professional development consulting, online courses, summer seminars, books, and online resources for K-12 educators. Our methods are also evidence-based and are informed by research that we conduct at Landmark School and often times with local scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Our online courses for educators are offered through Landmark Outreach as well as Southern New Hampshire University where participants can earn a M.Ed. in Curriculum Instruction with a concentration in Dyslexia and Language-Based Learning Disabilities Studies. A 5-course certificate program is also offered. www.landmarkoutreach.org
