Ask Michelle, Summer Program parent

" Yes, The Landmark Summer Program meet my expectations!  My son, Adam, is presently working very close to grade level and has learned strategies to help him be successful."

Ask Jean, Landmark parent
“Landmark's summer program was a turning point for my son's reading and writing as well as emotional well being.  It built my son's reading, writing, and organizational skills from the bottom up.  My son's self confidence was lacking for years.  It was great to see him so happy and thankful.  I would absolutely recommend this program to other parents.  These were well spent 6 weeks!"

Donna, Summer Program parent
“My daughter was in the Summer 2006 program, as a 6th grader, going into 7th grade. What it can do for the kids is amazing. In those six weeks at Landmark she became empowered...The Summer Program is a good opening door for the student, the family and the school - to truly discover what a student needs. It is the perfect test trial.”

Jill, Summer Program parent
"It was important for my son to be with other kids with the same learning profile and remind him, from summer to summer, that he was not alone - his learning situation is shared by a lot of other students. The friendships he has made with these students and faculty have helped him tremendously.”

Ask Dianne & David, Summer Program parents of two students
"Nathan's strengths and weaknesses were discovered and addressed.  He loved Landmark and has greatly benefitted from his experience there.  It was also a brilliant experience for our other son, Sam.  He loved it and benefitted a lot. The program was a great fit for Sam and he was very happy with all aspects.  Residential living was well supervised and safe."

Ask Mary, Landmark parent

"The Landmark summer program exceeded our expectations.  It helped to prepare our daughter for the 9th grade at Landmark.  It prepared her for academics, but focused on non-academic subjects such as theater and art too.  She enjoyed the diversity.  My daughter would love to attend the summer program again.  Her endorsement speaks for itself."

Ask Melissa, Summer Program student
“I am dyslexic. I felt like I was all alone with this problem and became very frustrated with the fact that I couldn’t learn the same way as other people. I knew I was smart but wondered if anyone would notice. During class, other people grasped the concepts of a lecture, but usually I was stuck and confused. When I told teachers that I didn’t understand, they usually would explain it again in the exact same way, and I would be embarrassed that I still didn’t get it. I would just nod and say, ‘Oh, now I get it!’ but I really didn’t.

At Landmark, I found out how I must learn. If I didn’t understand it one way, they explained it in several other ways. I found out my best way of learning was visual. I had to see it and sometimes experience it. Everything started to make sense to me.

When I came back to school, I knew I could do anything if I worked hard enough. In my competitive high school, I have a B average and a decent ranking in my class. I feel I have accomplished a lot and know I can do more.

My life seems like a mountain. The climb so far has been steep, but now I am ready for the next challenge…college.”
