About Landmark School

Landmark is a coeducational, private, residential high school for students with language based learning disabilities. We also have an Elementary/Middle School program which is a day program. We are situated twenty miles north of Boston on Massachusetts’ historic North Shore. There are currently 310 students attending the high school campus and 145 students attending the elementary middle school campus at Landmark, which makes us one of the largest and most highly respected schools for students with learning disabilities in the nation. Students at the school come from a variety of national, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. Each student has average to above average intelligence, but also has a language based learning disability that has made education a very difficult process. Landmark takes pride in remediating (teaching) the basic skills while still immersing the student in a challenging curriculum.
