Custom-Built for You

At Landmark, we design a program specifically for each student to focus on their strengths and interests while bolstering their areas of need. We are language-based, skills-based, and utilize direct and explicit instruction with every teacher, every class, every day. It's what education should be—and it works. 

 

Individualized Tutorial

A defining part of Landmark's Approach is the tutorial personalized for each student. While our reading instruction shares the scientific foundation of approaches like Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, or LiPS, our faculty aren’t limited by a single method. This allows for a custom-built program to meet the individual needs of each student. Our program is grounded in the science of reading and structured literacy. 

Areas of primary focus for Landmark's Tutorial include: Fluency, Decoding, Vocabulary, Spelling, Composition, Comprehension, Study Skills, and Transition planning.

Small Classes

We believe school should be challenging, engaging, dynamic, and fun, while honoring each student’s unique learning style. In small classes of six to eight, students are grouped by ability so teachers can adjust the pace and content to meet their needs. Expert literacy instruction is woven throughout every subject, ensuring consistent support and growth across all areas of learning.

Every teacher, in every classroom, utilizes Landmark's Six Teaching Principles™.

Advisory Program

Every student meets with their Advisory group throughout the week to hone skills and make sure no one gets lost in the shuffle. The Advisory Leader serves as safety net, coach, cheerleader, and friend.

Engaged Students

When families inquire about Landmark School, we ask them to imagine themselves with students who are curious, well-adjusted, smart, engaged, and eager to learn and succeed in school. A campus where students have diverse interests, who care about each other, and come from all over the U.S. and many countries to learn innovative ways to understand, address, and manage their learning challenges.

The majority have been diagnosed with a language-based learning disability, such as dyslexia, SLD in reading, or a disorder of written expression. Read more about our student profile. 

Highly Trained Faculty

100% of our teaching faculty members either have or are working toward an advanced education degree. Every teacher at Landmark School goes through intensive training to become an expert in meeting the needs of our students. New teachers enroll in our Teacher Residency Program in partnership with the Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development to hone skills and build mastery while earning an advanced degree in special education. Learn more about our one-of-a-kind Teacher Residency Program.
