There is a radio station, newspaper, community outreach group, and athletics at Landmark College. The Adventure Education department uses an experiential model of learning to give students access to rock climbing and wilderness first-aid techniques to build self-esteem and critical thinking ability.
This "innovative education model" helps students to discover the learning style that will allow for academic success (college website). The academic community acknowledges that students learn differently, and helps students identify interesting career opportunities and attain academic strengths. Landmark's mission includes changing the public perception of learning for students with learning issues and disorders.
