Strong Study Skills =
Academic Success

It's been proven that effective study skills, routines, and habits lead to a more successful academic experience. With Skills+, in just two weeks middle and high school students can take their skills to the next level. Our short and effective seminars will help students refine their executive function skills, explore and adopt new strategies, develop strong study habits, and boost academic achievement in a small, low-pressure setting.

Our Students

Our Skills+ program is designed specifically for students enrolled in public or private middle and high schools who need to develop strategies and apply skills across all subjects for an academic advantage next year and beyond.

The program is designed for students who have NOT been diagnosed with a language-based learning disability, such as dyslexia, but seek help with executive function skills and strategies to improve and strengthen their academic experience.

Schedule & Format

The two-week course runs Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. A light snack will be offered mid-morning. Landmark teachers present each seminar in a structured, multi-modal format that provides an active, hands-on application of class material. Classes are limited in size and offer an extensive opportunity to apply, practice, and master new skills. At the end of the seminar, students receive a certificate of completion and a binder full of suggested skills and proven strategies to implement during the school year.
