This school is very highly respected, even at selective universities. Many students from Landmark have transferred to Ivy League schools and have done well. As the parent of a pg/learning disabled child, it is comforting to know that this option will exist for him when the time comes.

This is a wonderful option for twice exceptional students who wish to pursue an academic career and yet need additional assistance and understanding through the process. The 3 to 1 student/faculty ratio means that each student gets individualized attention that will help him or her to meet their academic goals.

For bright students with ADHD or LDs this college is wonderful. My son is in his 2nd semester after struggling for a few years at regular colleges, he is very excited and on the Dean's List. Landmark takes a personal interest and teaches students how to learn with their disability, so they can take their knowledge and finish their 2nd 2 years at a standard college. It is AWESOME.
