What You Gain from a Summer at Landmark College

Our 暑期大学预备课程, for college-bound high school graduates, is all about preparation—through practice and exposure—for that crucial first semester of college. 这也是关于 understanding the changing role of a high school student to a college student. Even the most high-achieving students often face unanticipated difficulties in their first semester of college possibly putting them at risk for failure or struggle. Problems often arise not from a lack of academic abilities, but from the enormous jump in independence required in a college environment.

Students are immersed in a living/learning experience that offers a real “taste” of college life and the college-level work they will encounter in the fall. They develop a clear understanding of their personal learning strengths and needs, and discover how resources and self-advocacy can support their success in college. This preview of college life can help to alleviate anxiety and foster the confidence needed as students encounter the new demands of college.

谁应该参加这个项目?

This program is designed to help students who want to:

  • Learn to articulate individual learning issues that need attention
  • Identify the specific supports and accommodations they’ll need in college—and how to access them
  • Experience a typical introductory college-level lecture class
  • Learn and practice self-advocacy skills they’ll need to navigate through their freshman year
  • 运用组织能力, 有用的习惯, and useful behaviors needed to succeed at college—and identify problem habits and behaviors that might surface during their first year
  • 开始…的过程 transitioning from an adolescent to a young adult

Students who struggle with social anxiety and have difficulty making friends have the option of participating in social support 活动, including social pragmatic workshops and student affairs events. Resident assistants are available as peer mentors to provide information about 活动 and to help students feel connected to the Landmark community.

Rite of Passage: Transition to Adulthood

2024年夏季新品 Through experiential programming students will begin to understand and embrace their transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood. Students will gain interpersonal and practical skills while exploring their own values and designing a service project to bring change to a community they care about.

  1. Programming will introduce students to the Rite of Passage (RoP) framework and mindset, and will facilitate skill development, by developing an executable service project.
  2. Advising meetings and academic courses will introduce fundamental skills and ideas that will support and supplement work on the RoP service project.
  3. The co-curricular programming will further support student by reinforcing associated skills and strategies to building off the lessons used elsewhere in addition to regular living and learning skills delivered as part of the 住宅 curriculum.

 

注意:为了进入这个项目, students must provide a letter of admission to a four-year college or university. A diagnosed learning disability is not required to enroll in this program.

  • Applying 批判阅读 and thinking approaches to demonstrate comprehension of assigned topics and 阅读s.
  • Taking notes from lectures including note review and revision.
  • 写阅读的简短总结
  • Understanding the difference in expectations of high school level and collegiate level 写作 (summarization vs. 机)

“I appreciate the kindness and compassion of the Landmark faculty and staff. They ‘get’ these kids—they understand them. The Summer Transition Program was great preparation for the ‘real thing.’ My objectives were met: giving my son a taste of independent living in a college-like atmosphere.”
“Thank for the guidance that you all have provided our daughter. Her experience and the tools she acquired at Landmark will serve her well. I look forward to watching her continue to grow, learn, and blossom.”
“This program helped my son get a better handle on the work required at the college level. 到目前为止,在大学还不错! He feels ready to take on anything his professors throw at him. 谢谢你给我的美好体验!”
“Our son benefited very much having a dress rehearsal of what he might experience his freshman year and learning about advocating for his accommodations. It gave him confidence that he was, in fact, ready for college. And it helped us feel better about him leaving home. It was a reminder that he’s continuing to grow and achieve in spite of learning differences and personality differences.”
“The feedback at the end of the program was so helpful and reassuring!! Our son also told us of all the great experiences he had this 夏天. 我们将永远感激你。”
“Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend the Summer College Readiness program. I look forward to taking what I learned to college with me. 这改变了我的生活.”
