Boarding, Day, or Summer: Choosing the Right Landmark School Program

November 9, 2026 3 min read

Quick Answer for Busy Parents

Landmark School offers boarding, day, and summer programs for students with dyslexia and related learning differences. Boarding extends Landmark’s literacy and executive function work into dorm life; day students attend one of two campuses on Massachusetts’ North Shore, about 30 miles north of Boston; and the summer program helps students build skills and reduce learning loss over the break. Landmark is accepting applications for Academic Year 2027–28 and Summer 2027.

Landmark’s Three Programs

Program What It Offers Often a Good Fit For
Boarding Literacy and executive function skills carried into dorm life, with structure beyond the school day Families who live far from Massachusetts or want round-the-clock structure
Day Grades 2–12 on two North Shore campuses, with small classes of 6–8 Families within commuting distance
Summer Skill-building that reduces learning loss, plus enrichment and new friendships Students who want a first experience of Landmark or extra support over the break

The Two Campuses

  • High School: A 27-acre coastal campus at 412 Hale Street in Prides Crossing (Beverly).
  • Elementary and Middle School: An 18-acre historic estate in Manchester.

Landmark holds Open House events at the High School campus, where families can tour and meet administrators and students.

How the Application Differs

Academic-year applicants receive a decision once all materials are reviewed and a personal screening and interview have taken place. For the Summer Program, Landmark’s Admission Committee decides whether an interview is needed on a case-by-case basis.

Questions to Ask Your Family

  • How far are we from Massachusetts, and is a daily commute realistic?
  • Would our child benefit from structure that continues after the school day?
  • Is our child ready for boarding emotionally and socially?
  • Would a summer session help us test fit before a full academic year?

Finding the Right Starting Point

The right Landmark program depends on your child and your family. We help families think through each option and prepare a complete application.
