Landmark Elementary Middle School

P O Box 1489, Manchester, MA, 01944-0194
Landmark is a coeducational boarding and day school offering a full range of customized programs for students with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia. With a college preparatory high school, a middle school, and an elementary school, Landmark is one of the most comprehensive schools serving students with language-based learning disabilities in the United States. Landmark accepts bright students who are emotionally healthy, motivated to learn, but need remedial help with reading, writing, spelling, listening, speaking as well as mathematics. With a 1:3 teacher-student ratio, the key to Landmark's successful model is the daily one-to-one tutorial. A customized tutorial curriculum is designed to remediate specific language needs, which may encompass decoding, fluency, phonological awareness, written composition, and organizational skills. In addition, Landmark offers a Summer Program which combines intensive, academic skill development with recreational activities. A customized program including a daily one-to-one tutorial is designed for each student to improve reading, writing, spelling and study skills. The Summer Program accepts students in grades 1-12, who possess average to superior intelligence, a history of healthy emotional development, and have been diagnosed with a language-based learning disability. Situated on two beautiful campuses just 25 miles north of Boston, students take advantage of its North Shore location and its many cultural opportunities.
