Landmark's curriculum starts with our students. Students are grouped by ability, rather than traditional grade levels and move steadily through a carefully planned curriculum that allows them to build confidence and experience success.

Landmark offers three programs on our two Massachusetts campuses:

• The Elementary School Program
• The Middle School Program
• The High School Program

All three programs help students with dyslexia develop the skills they need to become strong critical thinkers, problem solvers, independent learners and advocates for their own needs in the world. Many of our elementary and middle school students transition to mainstream school environments, while others find that Landmark meets their needs through high school graduation. After high school, nearly every Landmark student goes on to college where they report that the skills they learned at Landmark translate directly into success.

Individualized Approach

The curriculum addresses the spectrum of needs for students with language-based learning disabilities, such as dyslexia. Through daily tutorials and small classes our goal is to teach students to become independent learners. Landmark designs an individualized program for each high school student and continually assesses his/her needs to determine the appropriate approach to remediation. Academic and campus directors use these assessments to assign specific courses and levels that challenge each student's personal strengths.

One-to-One Tutorials

The cornerstone of our successful model is the daily one-to-one tutorial. Students meet and work closely with one tutor for the entire year. A customized tutorial curriculum is designed to remediate the specific language needs of the student with dyslexia, and may encompass such areas as decoding, fluency, phonological awareness, written composition, and organizational skills.
