Landmark School is a co-educational day and boarding school in Beverly, Massachusetts for students in grades 2–12 with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia.
History
Landmark School was founded in 1971 by Dr. Charles Drake with the goal of educating students whose reading, writing, spelling, and mathematical skills did not align with their thinking and problem-solving abilities. In the beginning, there were only 40 students. Today, Landmark serves over 475 students in grades 2-12. The current Headmaster is Josh Clark. Josh follows Robert Broudo who retired after 50+ years at Landmark. Landmark offers a day program, a boarding program, and a summer program.
The Landmark Approach
Landmark is designed for the difference with the ability to create a customized program for each student. All classes work on literacy and executive function skills. Classes are small with 6-8 students and each student has a tutorial specifically designed to work on skills just for them. The faculty is highly trained to work with students who have language-based learning disabilities.
Athletics
Landmark's Athletics program practices a teacher/coach model in which classroom teachers coach students on the field. Coach's unique knowledge of student strengths and areas of need give them an extra edge to bring out the best in student athletes.
Landmark offers about 25 athletic teams across two campuses, as well as athletic clubs, including: cross-country, golf, soccer, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, baseball, lacrosse, sailing, tennis, ski club, mountain biking club, and more!
