​Landmark East School is a day and boarding school for students with diagnosed learning differences and is celebrating almost 50 years of empowering students to help them unlock their full potential. The classes are small, allowing our dedicated teachers to create individualized programs to support the learning needs of each student. This helps them find their voice and leverage their strengths for success. This nurturing environment honours each learner. Walking through the halls students, staff, and visitors feel a sense of belonging.
​
Landmark East is an independent co-educational day and boarding school located in picturesque Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada. I invite you to drop in, call or email us to learn more about the difference the right school can make in the life of your child.
