Fully online courses taught by Landmark faculty who understand executive function and other learning challenges. Close working relationship between the Landmark faculty and the school liaison. This ensures that the high school students have the requisite executive function support and accessibility for the online learning environment. Synchronous office hours with the Landmark faculty to orient students to communication with college faculty and self-advocacy. Small class sizes, with a minimum of five students and a maximum of 12 students. This allows for the customization of the learning environment and make it personally relevant.
