Landmark College
When Landmark College opened in 1985, we were the first institution of higher education to pioneer college-level studies for students with dyslexia. Today, we are known throughout the world for our innovative educational model, where students become confident, empowered, and independent learners. Our highly personalized approach integrates cutting-edge learning strategies, skills, and assistive technology into every aspect of a student’s daily experience.
At Landmark College, students discover the learning style that works best for them. They develop the skills needed to succeed in their academic pursuits. Our singular focus creates a welcoming and supportive college community where faculty and students alike understand the challenges of learning differently.

Landmark College—The College of Choice for Students Who Learn Differently
Landmark College is exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with a learning disability (such as dyslexia), ADHD, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We champion a strengths-based model and give students the skills and strategies they need to achieve their goals.

A fully accredited, not-for-profit institution, Landmark College offers bachelor’s and associate degrees, as well as a Bridge Experience, online dual enrollment courses for high school students, and summer programs to assist a wide range of high school and new or transferring college students with learning differences.

The Landmark College Institute for Research and Training conducts groundbreaking research on learning disabilities (LD), ADHD, and ASD, and shares that knowledge with educators around the world through webinars, workshops, professional training, and online courses.

LCIRT is the only research institute located on a campus that exclusively serves students who learn differently. This creates a powerful synergy. Students and faculty participate in and help to guide LCIRT’s research, and in turn, LCIRT’s expertise informs the College’s classroom practices.
