Landmark College is a private college in Putney, Vermont, United States. Designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including those with a learning disability, ADHD, autism or executive function challenges, it was established in 1985 and was the first institution of higher learning to pioneer college-level studies for students with dyslexia.

Designed exclusively for students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or other learning differences, this small Vermont college (480 students) offers a genuinely specialized environment that's hard to find elsewhere. The numbers tell a mixed story, though: a 27% graduation rate is quite low, and median earnings of $31,800 a decade after enrollment raise real questions about return on investment — especially with a net price near $51,000 per year. Worth considering seriously if a student needs this level of tailored academic support and the standard college environment has already proven unworkable, but go in with eyes open about the financial tradeoffs.
