Comments/additional information about agency mission:

Mission
Landmark College’s mission is to transform the way students learn, educators teach and the public thinks about education. We provide highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and to achieve their greatest potential. Through research and training, the College aims to extend its mission across the nation and throughout the world.

Vision Statement
To fulfill our mission and provide a transformative educational experience, the College and our community remain dedicated to an ethos built on innovation, service to students with LDs, and willingness to continually grow and reinvent ourselves. To distinguish the College as the premier institution for students who learn differently, we plan to evolve in a disciplined but entrepreneurial way in response to changing LD education needs, societal needs and opportunities, and career aspirations of our students. The College aims to be identified as a leader in the post-secondary LD education field, and to engage in collaborative and strategic alliances that will ensure our position as enduring pioneers. We are resolute in our commitment to embrace emerging, alternative technologies and learning environments that are changing the higher education industry today, in a way that best serves our LD-based systems and students. An overall environment optimized for student learning and living success, and which provides strategies, tools, and confidence for wellness and life-long competencies, remains a critically important element that contributes to the genius loci of our campus. Everything we do now and plan to do in the future is built on an understanding that student access to our programs is imperative--and directly linked to financial strength and institutional sustainability.
