Help Your Child Achieve Academic Success

Your child will gain academic skills, have fun, and make new friends this summer. And they can live on campus all four weeks for a true summer sleepaway camp experience. The High School Summer Program is for students entering grades 8–12 (who have turned 13 before the start of the program), who have been diagnosed with dyslexia or another language-based learning disability (LBLD), which falls under the broader category of specific learning disabilities (SLD).

Your child will improve their reading, writing, spelling, math, and study skills for an advantage in school—and beyond!

Summer Afternoon Activities

Adventure, creativity, and confidence—all in one unforgettable summer.

Landmark High School’s Summer Afternoon Program gives students the chance to explore new interests, build friendships, and enjoy everything summer on the North Shore has to offer. Whether students are capturing the perfect photo, paddling along the coastline, creating art, diving into STEAM projects, or staying active through fitness and spinning, each experience is designed to spark curiosity, encourage connection, and build confidence through hands-on fun.

Summer Options

Landmark High School’s four-week Summer Program offers exciting educational, cultural, and recreational experiences. Students can choose from a Half-Day Academic Program or Full-Day Combination Program with the option to board on campus. Academics are based on intensive skill-building and strategy development while students can take academic risks, let down their defenses, and build confidence. Learn more about each program:

Half-Day Academic Program

Students will take four, one-hour, academic classes each morning, including a tutorial. The day starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 1:05 p.m.

Half-Day Academic Program students have the option to participate in lunch and study hall, which end at 2:40 p.m.

Full-Day Combination Program

This program includes morning academics (including a tutorial), lunch, study hall, and afternoon activities where students can test themselves and deeply explore an extracurricular activity. Our afternoon program runs from 2:40 p.m.–5:00 p.m. every afternoon except Fridays. These exciting and challenging programs offer students an opportunity to relax, enjoy our beautiful coastal location, learn new skills, make friends, and build independence.

Boarding Program

By living at Landmark, your child will learn skills to be successful in college and beyond. The program encourages resilience and individual responsibility. Students develop strong executive function and self-advocacy skills. They learn how to manage their schoolwork and organize their time. Students will make new and lasting friendships with peers who have similar learning styles and experiences. Community Nights and weekend trips (to local beaches, area sites, sporting events, and more) give students time to relax and enjoy our gorgeous coastal campus.
