NEW SUMMER OFFERING!
Half Day Program
Day students may choose a half-day academic program. The half-day
option concentrates on remediation and mastery of reading,
writing and spelling skills. Grades 1-6 attend classes in
the morning, while grades 7-12 can choose a morning or afternoon
session. All students receive a daily, one-to one tutorial.
Full Day Academic
Program for High School Students
This program, for
students entering grades 7-12, concentrates on mastering the
skills of reading, writing, spelling and composition by providing
two daily periods of one-to-one tutorial instruction. These
fundamental skills are further reinforced and developed in
the small language arts classes of four to eight students.
Small classes are also offered in mathematics, study skills,
and a variety of electives. Students have three classes in
the morning and three in the afternoon.
Full Day Combination
Programs
Landmark offers students the opportunity to combine academic
skill development with one of four programs: Seamanship, Marine
Science, Exploration or Recreation. Students enrolled in one
of these programs attend a half day of academic classes concentrating
on the mastery of reading, writing and spelling skills. Class
size ranges from four to eight students of similar age and
achievement levels.
- Seamanship Program - Grades 7-12
The Seamanship program offers students the opportunity to
spend part of their day on the water. Seamanship students
receive classroom and practical instruction in handling
smaller sailing and rowing boats. Other areas of study include
coastal navigation, marine science, coastal ecology, New
England maritime history, local fishing methods, and boat
maintenance. Trips are arranged to local points of interest.
Swimming, exploring tidal pools, and fishing activities
complete the program. Landmark seamanship training is designed
primarily to build self confidence and enhance self esteem.
The sense of community, the necessity for discipline, the
spirit of cooperation, and the demands for independent action
inherent in sailing give the students a new sense of personal
worth.
- Marine Science Program - Grades 7-12
Marine Science education is offered to students who are
curious about and interested in the natural world. Students
explore local coastal and ocean ecosystems, work on research
teams, collect data and learn basic interdisciplinary academic
skills by applying these skills to marine studies. Students
develop basic snorkeling techniques and conduct research
projects using a broad array of marine research equipment.
To become actively involved in the spirit of marine studies,
student should feel comfortable in and around water.
- Exploration - Grades 3 - 6
The Exploration program provides
students the opportunity to combine a half-day of academic
classes with a half-day Marine Science/ Adventure Ropes
experience. Students will receive a daily one-to-one tutorial
in reading and literacy skills, a Written Expression class,
and a Language Structure/ Literature class. The second part
of each day will consist of small group Marine Science and
Adventure Ropes activities offered in consecutive 13 day
segments. Students will have the chance to experience both
programs. Marine Science exploration will involve field
trips, lab activities, kayaking and an introduction to snorkeling.
The Adventure Ropes session will use Landmark's outdoor
challenge course. Students will engage in problem-solving
group activities and work cooperatively using an array of
initiatives, games, low-ropes and high-ropes programming.
- Recreation - Grades 1 - 5
Students may combine a half-day Standard Academic Program
with an afternoon of recreational activities featuring games,
sports, beach trips and field trips to nearby locations
of interest. Students will receive a daily one-to-one reading
and literacy skills tutorial, a Written Expression class
and a Language Structure/ Literature class followed by various
recreational activities.
