Landmark College

Landmark College is a private college in Putney, Vermont, designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with a learning disability (such as dyslexia), ADHD, autism or executive function challenges. Established in 1985, Landmark College was the first institution of higher learning to pioneer college-level studies for students with dyslexia. Offering associate and bachelor's degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences, Landmark College is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). History The campus the college occupies originally belonged to Windham College. After Windham shuttered in 1978, the campus remained unused. Plans for a prison and for a conference center fell through. Putney Selectman Peter Shumlin was instrumental in persuading the government to allow Landmark School in Beverly, Massachusetts, to start a college on the dormant campus. Landmark College was established in 1985.
