LANDMARK COLLEGE SITE VISIT REPORT (2) opportunity for additional growth with some colleges in the Northeast closing.
Peter said that the biggest challenge for this college is access, especially for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. He said scholarships have always been their greatest need. He explained that an estimated 20% of disadvantaged students have some form of undiagnosed learning differences. Because of this, he hopes more public schools will partner with Landmark for Dual Enrollment, not just private schools. To that end, he is in talks with the office of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who has dyslexia. Michael noted that many of the current partner schools are themselves having staffing challenges. Other locations being considered for future Success Centers are Los Angeles and Houston.
Meanwhile, fundraising has been extremely successful, and Peter attributed it to JSF’s matching grant challenge. Landmark has raised $1.9 million toward its $2 million goal with 2 more years remaining in the grant period.
After the discussion, Lisa and Michael led a brief campus tour. Usually students are the ones who take visitors on the tours, but there were no students on campus since graduation had just taken place the weekend prior.
