Curriculum Guide: Grades 9-12

Our high school academic program creates an individualized schedule that helps students with dyslexia become capable, confident learners. Students build reading, writing, language, and learning skills in every class, with every teacher, every day.

With explicit, small-group instruction in reading, writing, and language—paired with engaging content courses—students develop the future-proof skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. 

Academic
Electives

At Landmark, academic electives offer students the chance to explore their interests, develop real-world skills, and express themselves in creative and meaningful ways. From literature and debate to sign language, early childhood education, and entrepreneurship, these courses encourage curiosity, independence, and personal growth across disciplines.

Even electives are part of Landmark's literacy ecosystem with language and executive function skills taught in every class, with every teacher, every day.

We've got you covered!

STEAMworks

The STEAMworks Technology Department offers a variety of courses for students of any skill level to explore and develop their abilities in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math). The learning space, called STEAMworks, consists of two classroom areas. A maker-space containing tools and machines that will allow most anything to be designed, prototyped, and manufactured, and a studio space that has cameras, tripods, lighting equipment, musical instruments, recording gear, and more. Compose and record an original song; design and build a pair of custom skis; edit the next Oscar-worthy film—or whatever you can dream up!
