The block also includes weekly House meetings and club opportunities that encourage connection, leadership, and fun.

Advisory
Students meet with their Advisory Leaders in small groups of 4–5 peers, a consistent group where they work on social-emotional well-being, build executive function skills, and sometimes head to the gym for active team-building games that re-engage them physically after a full day of learning.

Your Education
Confidence & Belonging
In Landmark’s Elementary Program, students discover that school can feel successful, supportive, and joyful. At Landmark, students learn not only academic skills, but also how to understand themselves as learners in an environment surrounded by peers who learn like they do.
Social & Emotional Learning
Social-emotional learning is an important part of the Elementary experience at Landmark. Through mindfulness activities, regular check-ins, and weekly social-emotional learning lessons during Anchor Block, students build self-awareness, healthy decision-making skills, strong friendships, leadership, and confidence as learners. Through Landmark’s Key System, students are recognized for living the school’s values of Character, Empowerment, and Exploration.
No Pull-Outs
Landmark’s program is designed so that support happens within the classroom experience—never as a pull-out. With literacy instruction embedded in every class, with every teacher, every day, students build critical reading and language skills without sacrificing the subjects that spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence. At Landmark School, students can have it all!
Inquiry-Based Learning
Curiosity leads the way during Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL). With longer class blocks, students have time to both build skills and jump into hands-on projects connected to what they’re learning in class. Through driving questions, research, creativity, building, or exploration, students experience learning in active, engaging, and real-world ways.
