The Landmark Difference
Different By Design
Landmark School is a leader in the field of serving students with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities. Our literacy eco-system embeds reading, writing, listening, expressive language, and executive functioning skills in all of our small classes taught by highly trained teachers. With about 500 students in grades 2-12 on two coastal campuses located just 30 miles north of Boston, we are proud of our 50+ year history and impact.

For Educators
Outreach Program
Landmark's mission extends beyond its two campuses. The Landmark Outreach Program offers educators meaningful and effective professional development grounded in theory and practice in order to empower students who learn differently.
Since its inception, Outreach has partnered with hundreds of school districts and thousands of educators to enhance instruction for students with LBLDs. Outreach provides educators with a comprehensive and integrated approach to language-based instruction, including program design, instructional coaching, and professional development.
