Landmark College Partnership

Learning Prep School partners with Landmark College to offer online college courses to our 12th grade students who meet academic requirements. This is an exciting opportunity for our high school seniors to take asynchronous college classes designed specifically for students who learn differently! Landmark provides each student with a Course Coach who assists with time management, organization, self-advocacy, and prioritization to help stay on top of course material, reading assignments, and homework. Course Coaches and Professors communicate regularly with Learning Prep faculty to provide updates on individual student progress. LPS Transition Dept. staff are available to help students review the syllabus and understand feedback they receive.

 

Which Courses Can Students Take?

Learning Prep Dual Enrollment Students begin by taking a 2-week Online Readiness Course prior to the start of their first semester. Students complete a self-assessment to understand their strengths and weaknesses in specific skills for online learning, then progress through 6 modules covering topics from the assessment. 

All students participating in Dual Enrollment take Perspectives in Learning in the fall of their senior year. This 3-credit Education course is designed to introduce theories related to the cognitive, social, emotional, and cultural dimensions of learning. Students develop self-awareness, critical thinking, strategic learning, and self-advocacy and practice study skills including note-taking, active reading, test-taking, planning/organizing, and using academic technology.  

Students who successfully complete Perspectives in Learning in the fall may enroll in a Spring Dual Enrollment course of their choice.
