Landmark Summer Programs are part of Landmark School, a coed day and boarding school for students in grades 2–12 with dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities. Each faculty member is highly trained and specializes in educating students with dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities. The High School Summer Program offers a true summer sleepaway camp experience by having students live on campus for all four weeks, and the high school has a vibrant community with students from all over the world who live, learn, and grow together.

Landmark’s mission is to enable and empower students with language-based learning disabilities to reach their educational and social potential through an exemplary school program complemented by outreach and training, assessment, and research. Landmark’s literacy ecosystem embeds reading, writing, listening, expressive language, and executive functioning skills in all small classes taught by highly trained teachers, and the program is grounded in the science of reading and structured literacy. Personalized programs include one-to-one tutorials, small classes, skills taught across all subject areas, and robust electives and extracurriculars.

The Elementary•Middle School Summer Program is described as minimizing learning loss and regression and preparing children for a successful and productive school year, and the summer program is described as not an average summer school experience. Since its inception, the Landmark Outreach Program has partnered with hundreds of school districts and thousands of educators to enhance instruction for students with language-based learning disabilities. Landmark opened its doors in 1971 with 40 students and a small group of teachers on one campus, and today it serves 475 students on two North Shore campuses with a faculty and staff of 320, and has a 50+ year history.

Parents describe the summer program as a turning point for their children’s reading and writing and emotional well-being, and note that it built reading, writing, and organizational skills from the bottom up. One parent reports that both of her sons loved Landmark and greatly benefited from their experience, and that residential living was well supervised and safe. Another parent notes that the program prepared her daughter for ninth grade at Landmark and included non-academic subjects such as theater and art, and that her daughter would love to attend again. Student and family stories describe being surrounded by friends with “always stuff to do,” learning more in one year at Landmark than in other schools, joining a first play, learning to code, playing on a sports team, reading seven books in a year, and enjoying being around different people as a chance to mature at an accelerated level.
