Landmark College (LC) in Putney, Vermont, is renowned as the college for students who learn differently. LC offers a variety of summer programs for high school and college students with learning differences (LD) or executive function challenges.
LC’s summer programs help students identify their strengths and differences, build social skills and learn strategies to be successful in the classroom. Instructors consist of current LC faculty and local educators who have experience working with students with LD.
“Our summer programs give students a leg up,” says Mark DiPietro, vice president for marketing and communications. “We help students get the academic support they need to go back to the classroom stronger, and there’s also a social component so they learn how to build friendships.”
The three-week High School Summer Program builds executive function skills, including time management and organization, while offering opportunities for personal change and growth. The Summer College Readiness Program prepares recent high school graduates for their first semester on a college campus.
The Summer Bridge Experience brings together students from a variety of colleges and universities around the country as well as current LC students to grow their academic abilities and gain learning strategies in for-credit courses and electives. A five-day online summer boot camp helps recent high school graduates and current college students identify challenges and build strengths.
“We want students to determine their personal readiness and hit the ground running when they arrive on campus in the fall,” says Carroll Pare, senior director of intersession and online programs.
