History

Landmark School was founded in 1971 by Dr. Charles Drake with the goal of educating students whose reading, writing, spelling, and mathematical skills did not align with their thinking and problem-solving abilities. In the beginning, there were only 40 students and a small group of teachers on one campus in Beverly, Massachusetts. Today, Landmark serves over 475 students in grades 2-12 from 23 states and 10 countries. The current Headmaster is Josh Clark. Josh follows Robert Broudo who retired after 50+ years at Landmark. Landmark offers a day program, a boarding program, and a summer program.
